Featured in Nanophotonics – Scaling up multispectral color filters with binary lithography and reflow (BLR)
Spectral sensors are an integral part in digital cameras and mobile phones. To exhibit color sensitivity, color filters are fabricated above photodiodes. However, processes that rely on the sequential fabrication of each filter are cost ineffective. In collaboration with LiteOn Semiconductor, we introduce an approach to produce at least 16 distinct filters based on a single low-resolution lithographic step with a minimum feature size of 0.6 μm.
Studied Architecture Before Medicine: Medical Student Explores the Connection Between the Two
SUTD alumna Lim Yu Wen studied architecture before enrolling in medical school. While others might view her as “wasting time,” she does not share that opinion. Yu Wen had long wanted to become a doctor, but she was also interested in other subjects, especially architecture and urban planning.
