Talk 1: TAREK AL ABBAS - Backside Illuminated SPAD Image Sensor in 3D-Stacked CMOS Technology
More than a decade ago, the integration of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) in CMOS processes spurred the development of a variety of low light and time correlated sensors utilizing the SPAD’s sensitivity and timing performance. This talk will outline the recent progress made by the CMOS Sensors and Systems group in developing state of the art single photon image sensors based on backside illuminated 3D-stacking technology. An overview of the new sensor’s architecture alongside full characterization results in both intensity and time correlated imaging modes will be presented.
Talk 2: ANTHONY BUCHOUX - Development of a 3D Microfluidic Lab on a Chip for Light Spectrometry Analysis of Enzyme Kinetics
This talk will present the development of a low-cost microfluidic light spectrometer system for the study of enzyme kinetics. The system combines simple electronics components and advanced manufacturing techniques for 3D microfluidic devices. An example experiment has been demonstrated by performing kinetic analysis of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenol-phosphate (pNPP) using the phosphatase enzyme. This has been studied through light absorption measurements in a microfluidic channel which integrates a UV-LED and a phototransistor sensor.
