Tyndall National Institute represents the largest community in Ireland of research scientists and engineers (about 300) in the areas of electronics and photonics, underpinned by cutting-edge research in materials and micro/nanotechnology and coupled with an advanced theoretical and practical understanding of materials, devices and systems. The work is supported by an outstanding set of facilities and people working on semiconductor device processing and characterisation. It is the full in house fabrication capability that gives Devices and Systems for Radiation Dosimetry group in Tyndall an advantage over other researchers in that field. The group is involved in research and development of semiconductor technology devices/systems for detecting ionising radiation. The highlights of group activities include long-term partnership with European Space Agency on RADFET development, participation in the EuCPAD project to develop personal dosimeter for European astronauts, supply of RADFETs for space applications to virtually all space exploration agencies in the world, supply of RADFETs for radiation monitoring in LHC ring at CERN, and recent breakthroughs with p-Si diodes and RADFETs into medical device market with OneDose and DVS sensors and Delta system (for more details see e.g. www.siceltech.com/products, www.invorad.com).
