Sensors

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.

Examples include:

Research Projects

CMOS Sensors and Systems Group

Research Facilities

  • Time-resolved detectors and lasers laboratory (part funded by ST Microelectronics)
  • Motorised rail for time-of-flight sensor characterisation
  • SMC for fabricating sensor technologyand  postprocessing CMOS
