Article Highlights Aeluma's Shortwave Infrared Sensor Products for Consumer Markets
Aeluma has been featured in an article published by Compound Semiconductor magazine. Titled "Realizing high-performance sensors with heterogeneous integration," the piece highlights our innovative advancements in shortwave infrared (SWIR) photodetector technology.
At Aeluma, we've developed a groundbreaking approach to manufacturing SWIR photodetectors by integrating high-performance materials with large-diameter silicon substrates. This unique method bridges the gap between cutting-edge SWIR technology and scalable, cost-effective production processes typically reserved for mass-market microelectronics. The result? Affordable, high-performance sensors designed for both consumer and industrial applications, setting the stage for next-generation advancements in sensing and communication technologies.
This technical feature in Compound Semiconductor highlights the transformative potential of Aeluma's technology. Large-diameter wafer manufacturing may unlock new possibilities for AI, 5G, AR/VR, and beyond.
The article, authored by Aeluma's CEO Jonathan Klamkin, Ph.D., and Principal Scientist, Bei Shi, Ph.D., explains that the company's proprietary heterogeneous integration technology combines high-performance indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) materials with silicon. This innovation addresses critical market needs for sensor applications in autonomous systems, aerospace, AI, and AR/VR by delivering high-sensitivity, energy-efficient photodetectors at an unprecedented scale.
