Imec will be present with a talk by Pawel Malinowski, Program manager "Pixel innovations" on Next-generation short-wave infrared sensors enabled by Pb-free quantum dots - 18 March - 4h15 PM
Short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength range provides information beyond human vision, and beyond capabilities of silicon-based devices. For decades, imaging applications in that spectrum have been limited to high-end use cases (security, space, scientific) due to very high manufacturing costs of the hybrid sensors using III-V detectors. Recently , imagers based on colloidal quantum dots are making inroads into machine vision industry. Monolithic integration of thin-film photodiode stacks allows for wafer-level fabrication and enables new form factors (high resolution, high pixel density, miniaturisation). In this paper we present recent updates on the InAs QD devices with image sensor proofs-of-concept. Pb-free stacks are one of the enablers of wider deployment of QD SWIR imaging technology and represent a critical improvement of the manufacturability aspects for further upscaling of quantum dot image sensors.
