Prof. Paolo Lugli and Dr. Daniela Baierl from
Technische Universität München (TUM) announced an image sensor based on a photosensitive polymer layer sprayed on top on the silicon ROIC. Another advantage of the plastic sensors is that different chemical compounds can be used to capture different parts of the light spectrum. For example, the PCBM and P3HT polymers are ideal for the detection of visible light. Other organic compounds, like squaraine dyes, are sensitive to light in the near-infrared region. Details are published in a
paper in Nature journal:
