G-ray Switzerland concludes collaborative research agreement with CERN
Neuchâtel, Switzerland, 22.05.2017 – G-ray Switzerland, a company developing leading edge particle detection systems, is pleased to announce that it has signed with CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, an R&D collaboration agreement on characterisation of charge transfer process across low temperature bonded interfaces.
“We are pleased to have established a close collaboration with one of the world’s most advanced research institution closely connected with our field”, says Patrick Scherrer, Chairman of the Board and co-founder of G-ray Switzerland.
CERN aims at maximizing the impact of its technologies by transferring it to other disciplines for the benefit of society and industry. This collaboration is an opportunity for CERN and G-ray to explore the performance of low temperature bonding processes using already established characterisation techniques;
The ultimate aim of this agreement is to establish the performance of silicon wafers that are bonded using G-ray’s low-temperature bonding approach with CMOS read-out reference wafers from CERN. EMPA, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, which is another strategic partner of G-ray, is also involved.
