Imec SWIR Plans

 Imec has updated its page on SWIR imagers, including a new Vimeo video:

The Pixel Technology Explore activity is looking at two methods for cost-effective uncooled IR detection:

1. thin film on silicon – Materials such as organic and colloidal quantum dots offer low-cost synthesis, compatibility with a variety of substrates and processing feasibility on a large area. This article gives you an in-depth view.
2. hybrid infrared imagers – Both III-V hetero-epitaxy on silicon and III-V material transfer on silicon are compatible with processing in a silicon wafer fab and reduce the manufacturing costs of IR sensors.
