Lithium Innovations Company, LLC
collaborating with Lucintech Inc is proud to present:
LiNDA
(Lithium Innovations Neutron Detector Array)
LINDA neutron detector layers
Detector stack, consisting of two(2) 14 pixel semiconductor modules with Li-6 sensitizer layer sandwiched between two barrier layers.

LiNDA technology advantages over conventional neutron detectors:
  • Low cost, based on large-area coating technologies
  • High sensitivity to neutrons
  • Blind to gammas, avoids false positives
  • Light weight, suitable for drone operation
  • Low voltage operation (12V)
  • Low power draw for extended battery operation
  • Scalable to large sizes, suitable for 3He replacement
  • All solid-state design, rugged, durable
Li Innovations and Lucintech bring unique capabilities and experience from large-area coatings fields into neutron detector applications:
  • Our technology is based on large-area coating and handling capabilities developed for electrochromic windows and for thin-film photovoltaics
  • Isotopically pure 6Li layers sensitize the thin-film CdS/CdTe detector structure
  • Arrays of large pixels are interconnected to multiply sensitivity
  • Modular thin-film stacks lead to high neutron detection efficiency
Technology development is being assisted by DNDO SBIR contracts
Technology is protected under patent 2015/0287872 and two patents pending
