Periodic Reporting for period 1 - OrgaDetect (Commercializing NuDev's Organic Permeable Base Transistors (OPBT) in full Organic photodetectors and chip-size spectrometers)
Período documentado: 2016-12-01 hasta 2018-05-31
Within the ORGADETECT project the concept of Charge-Transfer-Photodetectors (CTPD) was combined with an organic transitor technology. CTPDs were optimized concerning external quantum efficiency, peak width of the detection wavelengths and peak positions. A layout with 16 pixel was developed, tested and implemented. In a second step CTPD were processed on top of OPBTs which did not suceed as it was impossible to process OPBTs with the area necessary for CTPDs. Therefore, the decision was made to use vertical organic transistors. With this approach, a full organic integrated NIR-photodetector with organic backplane was developed, characterized and implemented in demonstrators.
In parallel a business plan for the commercialization of this technology was developed. A comprehensive analysis of potential target markets and applications was made and a go-to-market strategy was developed. Investors were approached and as a result, the start-up SENORICS was founded with pre-seed-investment. SENORICS is closing a seed-investment round at the moment.
