Profile

Founded in 2003 as spin out from Durham University, UK

Research, development and production of energy discriminating detectors for x ray and gamma ray applications

NOVA R&D acquisition ASICs for photon counting, timing and energy discrimination.

• ECAC Type B Standard 2

Privately funded attracting $35 Million in last 5 years.

Business Model

Strategy:

Technology solution provider and partner to OEM’s in Medical. Nuclear, Defence, Security and Industrial markets.

Development of end user products for niche applications

Separate source and growth furnaces, connected by a horizontal transport tube

Flow restrictor limits the mass flow, decoupling the growth rate from the source/sink temperature giving high dynamic control over the process

MTPVT growth method
