LEUVEN (Belgium), December 16, 2024— This week, at the 2024 IEEE
International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), imec, a world-leading
research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies,
and its partners in the Belgian project Q-COMIRSE, present a first of
its kind prototype shortwave infrared image sensor with indium arsenide
quantum dot photodiodes. The sensor demonstrated successful 1390 nm
imaging results, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to
first-generation quantum dots that contain lead, which limited their
widespread manufacturing. The proof-of-concept is a critical step toward
mass-market infrared imaging with low-cost and non-toxic photodiodes.
