What is nanotechnology? |
|
| The word nano is defined as a unit of a billionth,
derived from the ancient Greek word nanos, meaning pigmy. The length of 1 nanometer
(nm) is 1/10m, about 1/80,000 of the thickness of a hair and the length of 10
hydrogen arranged in a line. Nanotechnology refers to the technical implementation
of new phenomena or characteristics occurring when a size of material is around
number~100nm scale. In other words,
it is atoms and molecule-scaled super-microscopic technology. |

What is an image sensor using Nano technology? |
|
| It functions as an artificial eye, mimicking the human eye.
It uses similar manufacturing methods to common memory
semiconductors combined with silicon semiconductor technology.
Everyone has experienced trying to use a camera in a dark place,
where the picture is blurred or objects are vague because of
the limitations of existing technology regarding light-detecting capability.
However, we can solve this problem with this technology and
it¡¯s possible for anyone to take highly sensitive and vivid
pictures whenever and wherever. |

What is a Highly Sensitive Image Sensor? |
|
The SMPD (Single-carrier Modulation Photo Detector), our
most recently developed technology, applies nano material (resulted)
from the quantum effect into unit pixels of the photo detection area
in order to realize highly sensitive images.
The nano structural photodetector functions as multiple
carriers using the quantum effect as single electrons.
The photodetector, which uses a simple quantum structure to the electron carrier,
has an immense light amplification rate, many times more in comparison
to PN junction photodiodes. Consequently, the nano photodetector has
optical response characteristics and a photoelectric transformation effect,
while making it possible to work with low power consumption.
The SMPD image sensor has applied such features of photoelectric elements
using nano technique to produce highly integrated pixel density
and maximize the efficiency of photo detection. |

What is an Image Chip? |
|
| An Image Chip is, as the name indicates,
is a chip inserted with an image sensor.
Image sensors have the ability to sense and process,
in other words many photodiodes within.
Thus we call semiconductor chips, including image sensors, image chips. |

Which products can use and apply image sensors using nano technology and how? |
|
The size of the image sensor market is immense and includes mobile phones,
DSC, PC cameras, security cameras, medical cameras, camcorders, and optical mice,
among others. It is evaluated to have competitiveness over performing and pricing
issues for mobile phones and digital cameras.
Also, it is applicable for medical
equipment and military machines. For instance, pattern-recognition image sensors and automated
image sensor are next-generation practical fields where this technology could
contribute to the formulation of a new market. |

What are NT-BT technological applications being researched and developed by Planet82? |
|
Combining technology has the big possibility of becoming a
future leading core industry. Recently, many countries choose
to combine technology using IT, NT, and BT in order to have a predominant competitive
advantage and to create a high value-added industry.
Moreover,
private corporations worldwide also anticipate the future capability of
combined technology and are struggling to occupy market share.
The developing technology gap is not wide because concentration
in this field has not been held for too long.
Advanced counties have
put all their supportive aid toward new technology development and
adaptation to such technology. These countries basically integrate IT,
BT, and NT into their pre-existing main industries for better competitiveness.
Especially, the governments of advanced countries are focusing on improving infrastructure,
developing HR, promoting technological renovation, and ultimately aim to encourage
research organizations by providing them with an environment where
they can concentrate solely on development.
Planet 82 combines such technology and applies to the various fields of chemistry,
medicine, bio- equipment in order to make better functioning, high value-added equipment.
For instance, we renew and effectively develop skin structure analysis equipment,
disease detecting chips,
blood analysis equipment and sensors using nano technology.
All these efforts are expected to induce development of bio/chemical industries. |
