Detector Development Lab (DDL)

Pioneering Advanced Detectors
The DDL is a microelectronics fabrication facility dedicated to the development of advanced detectors, micro-electrical-mechanical-systems (MEMS), nano-scale devices, circuits, and components for NASA’s missions. The laboratory is built around a 4,800 square foot, ISO 5 cleanroom, housing an extensive array of semiconductor processing equipment to perform full-scale, custom, wafer fabrication up to 200mm. The lab contains a large variety of semiconductor fabrication equipment for optical and electron beam lithography, wet and dry etching, oxidation, diffusion, thin film deposition, metallization and device characterization.

The Detector Development Lab (DDL) is managed by ETD’s Instrument Systems and Technology Division (ISTD). Contact ISTD for more information.
