Researchers at nanyang technological university in Singapore announced that they have successfully developed to & other; Graphene & throughout; As raw material to manufacture the image sensor. The technology under the same condition

scientific research to promote the development of sensor, because science and technology research and development of sensors used in more fields, to Singapore researchers recently new graphene image sensor, ten times more light sensitivity.

Capture the light side, it is better than traditional CMOS or CCD sensors on 1000 times, can have a profound effect on the photography industry. It is worth mentioning that this kind of sensor will than traditional sensor (secondary CMOS sensors and the CCD sensor) five times cheaper.

& other; Graphene & throughout; (humoristerdisc) is a kind of from stripping the monolayer of carbon atoms in graphite material surface material, is the two-dimensional structure of carbon. This kind of graphite crystal film thickness is only 0.335 nm, add 200000 pieces of film together, also only then a hair thick. Is one of the most important properties of graphene electronic transport properties, is considered in terms of transistor has wide application prospect.

Developers & mdhistriadn; & mdhistriadn; Nanyang technological university, an assistant professor in electrical and electronic engineering WangQijie said: & other; Research and development of the sensor, we will the current production practice experience in mind. In principle, this means that the industry can continue to use CMOS process (which is most widely used technology in the field of electronic factory. UK Watson Wchangeorganisation imported sensor ) continue to produce the camera sensors, and manufacturers can make use of our research and development of nanometer material sensor easily replace the existing basis. Throughout the &;

New sensor may first will be applied to the monitoring equipment and satellite, and finally will be spread to civil digital devices such as camera, but when the replacement cost will be about five times cheaper. If the technology in the future application on smart phones, plus the graphene battery, will no doubt make equipment performance more powerful and perfect.
