Material & Device Applications Laboratory
The Material & Device Applications Laboratory is immersed in developing technologies and materials at the heart of whole new generations of products. The path to some of the most exciting breakthroughs and business opportunities of the future begins right here among our advanced facilities and our multidisciplinary staff.
The Material & Device Applications Laboratory brings together biologists; chemists; bio, electrical, chemical and mechanical engineers; plus material scientists and physicists – to name but a few – who collaborate with manufacturers, universities and government laboratories throughout the world to achieve ambitious insights and outcomes. Our areas of focus are many, and include:
|
Image Sensor Technologies
Our team is leading the charge to develop key processes and device structures for future image sensors. High sensitivity, low noise, wide dynamic range, and low cost CCD and CMOS imager technologies are our specialty. This effort focuses not only on capturing images in the visible region but extends well beyond human vision capabilities to enable a larger range of applications and new markets for our products.

|
Nanotechnology
Deeply embedded in international applied research initiatives into novel materials, the Material & Device Applications Laboratory’s nanotech expertise extends well beyond processes and concepts for use by our parent company. For example, we are collaborating with Nanosys to develop Si nanowires for display applications.

Bioengineering
We have a vigorous research effort in biosensor transducer technologies to benefit medical diagnostics, pathogen detection, and other sensing applications. One such project aims to develop an advanced point-of-care testing system for molecular based diagnosis of multiple disease markers. This offers the potential for much faster and accurate medical diagnoses. For more information regarding our impedance biosensing platform please see: IA-2 Biosensor.

Optical Device Technology
Replacing the copper in electronic devices with optical fiber and the electrons with photons promises to replay the semiconductor revolution all over again. Sharp Labs is doing ground-breaking work in this field, as well as advancing the science in support of nano-silicon based electroluminescent and photoluminescent devices.
