Imec integrates thin-film pinned photodiode into superior short-wave-infrared imaging sensors

Results published in Nature Electronics unlock the potential of thin-film sensors in infrared imaging LEUVEN (Belgium), 14 August, 2023—Imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, presents the successful integration of a pinned photodiode structure in thin-film image sensors. With the addition of a pinned-photogate and a transfer gate, the superior absorption qualities of thin-film imagers -beyond one µm wavelength- can finally be exploited, unlocking the potential of sensing light beyond the visible in a cost-effi...
