The integration of novel materials and devices with electronics to sense a range of physical properties such as heat, light, sound, radiation or chemical signatures such as pathogens or gases. This also includes integrating sensors with CMOS to increase their functionality (More than Moore) which involves both design and technology development. 450 micron focal plane unit fro SCUBA-2 micromachined at the SMC Examples include:CMOS Single Photon Avalanche Diode arrays for imaging and spectroscopyMetal-polymer nanocomposite sensorsNanoband electrochemical sensingSubmillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA-2)Electrodes for sensing in harsh environments (550oC)Research ProjectsTotalPhoton: A Total Photon Camera for Molecular Imaging of Live CellsSPADnet: Fully networked, digital components for photon-starved Biomedical ImagingMultiplexed multiphoton fluorescence lifetime microscopy: Real time 3D imaging of protein-protein interactions by FRETDevelopment of an Instrument for Rapidly Detecting Cryptosporidium in Drinking WaterUltra-Parallel Visible Light Communications (UP-VLC)Million frame per second, time-correlated single photon camera (MEGAFRAME)PROTEUS: Multiplexed 'Touch and Tell' Optical Molecular Sensing and ImagingHYPIX: Hybrid organic semiconductor/gallium nitride/CMOS smart pixel arraysMetal-polymer nanocomposite sensorsResearch FacilitiesTime-resolved detectors and lasers laboratory (part funded by ST Microelectronics)Motorised rail for time-of-flight sensor characterisationSMC for fabricating sensor technologyand postprocessing CMOS This article was published on 2024-09-15
