The Glasgow Laboratory for Advanced Detector Development (GLADD)
The Glasgow Laboratory for Advanced Detector Development (GLADD) is an electronic device fabrication and test facility housed in a Class 10,000 clean-room. It features a suite of state-of-the-art equipment including an ultrasonic fine pitch wire bonder for fabricating interconnects in electronic devices and a probe station for investigating the functionality of improved sensor designs. GLADD staff have extensive experience in building silicon strip detector systems and have played a key role in several major international particle detection projects, including the novel semiconductor tracker and pixel detector technology used in ATLAS upgrades at CERN and in applications for medical imaging and airport security.
