NANOIDENT Delivers World's Largest Printed Semiconductor-Based Photodetector Array for Industrial, Medical and Security Applications

SEMICONDUCTOR 2.O Platform Enables Cost-Effective, Large-Area Array on Flexible PET Foil Substrate

NANOIDENT Technologies AG, the world leader in printed semiconductor-based
optoelectronic sensors, today announced that it has delivered the
world's largest printed semiconductor-based photodetector array on a
flexible PET foil substrate. An industry first, this array was
developed with the NANOIDENT SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0(TM) Platform and
manufactured at the NANOIDENT ORGANIC FAB (OFAB). With NANOIDENT
technology, OEM partners can now realize application-specific,
cost-effective, printed semiconductor-based photodetector arrays that
eliminate the need for costly optical filters and can be used in a
wide variety of new industrial, medical and security applications.

The NANOIDENT SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0 Platform serves as the core
technology foundation for a wide array of application-specific printed
semiconductor platforms and products. With its platform, NANOIDENT was
able to manufacture a large-area photodetector array--a device that
converts light into electrical signals--by depositing thin layers of
conducting and semiconducting "inks" onto a plastic foil substrate
using state-of-the-art printing techniques. By using printed
semiconductor-based technology--which enables unique mechanical,
electro-optical and structural properties--the company was able to
deliver an array 18x12cm in size, and could easily produce detectors
up to 50x50cm or larger. With large-area, ultra-thin, flexible devices
that incorporate application specific spectral properties, customers
are able to eliminate expensive optical filters and develop an
entirely new class of application types. Sample applications for
large-area photodetector arrays include industrial measurement and
test, medical imaging and security screening.

"One of our industrial customers came to NANOIDENT requesting a
radical new photodetector array design for a specific industrial
application that could not be delivered with silicon," said Klaus
Schroeter, CEO of NANOIDENT. "Working together, we were able to
deliver the industry's first large-area array on a flexible substrate
that includes specific spectral sensitivity and meets other
application-specific requirements. We are excited to deliver this
solution, which will transform existing test processes as well as
create an entirely new application for the industrial market."

NANOIDENT's SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0 Platform is the core technology for
all NANOIDENT vertical market platforms and is comprised of four core
intellectual property (IP) elements, which include liquid conductive
and semiconductive materials IP, design and simulation IP, production
processes and quality assurance IP and functional component IP. The
SEMICONDUCTOR 2.0 Platform enables the design and mass production of
printed semiconductor-based functional components, such as photo
detectors, light emitting diodes, transistors, resistors, capacitors
and interconnects. With NANOIDENT's new printed semiconductor
production process, devices can also be manufactured in hours rather
than weeks.
