Silicon Thin-Film Applied Research Group
The Silicon Thin-Film Applied Research (STAR) group, headed by Professor Karim S. Karim, is utilizing the Giga-to-Nanoelectronics (G2N) to advance state-of-the-art medical imaging by developing faster, higher resolution and lower dose x-ray cameras.
These x-ray cameras are based on novel semiconductor devices using amorphous selenium photoconductor material and novel sensor circuits using state-of-the-art silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology.
Some of the new device architectures poineered in the STAR group were featured in an article on the MedicalPhysicsWeb. Their work on a single photon counting CMOS architectures received an Honorable Mention at the SPIE 2009 International Medical Imaging Meeting in San Diego, California.
