FIELD VIEWERS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: A17-138

Description

We propose to examine the approaches for producing a single specifimen of the Cd1-xZnxSeyTe1-y material for gamma spectrometry. The key success criteria for the growth is the detector will be used as grown, implying no mining of the parts around subgrain boundries will be required. The outcome of such a growth is streamlined production process for the detectors. In phase II Field Viewers will use the R&D in phase I to build a production plant to produce as-grown detector grade materials. Field Viewers will then commercialize the detector grade materials in various industries, including security and medical imaging. The commercialization path explored will be two folds. .Our current product offerings, FAQIR2017 and FALKON launched in NSS-MIC2017, Atlanta, are based on CdTe and Si detectors. These two products are radiation survey meter using a remote controlled drone and hand held radiation detector tablet respectively. These two products were launched based on the phase I SBIR work done in 2017 for Department of Energy. In addition, Field Viewers has few other products in pipeline which will use this revolutionary detector material, CZTS.
