Panelist Nano
scale structures
and MEMS technology are known to provide unique properties. mPhase
Technologies, in collaboration with Bell
Labs, has been able to focus these technologies into a unique power
source as well as a sensor, that when available as commercial building
blocks, will provide technical features not easily achievable when
building sensor networks using conventional approaches. By
applying novel
techniques and processes to etching silicon structures, new devices can
be designed using tools that have been developed for the semiconductor
industry. Steve Simon, EVP of Research and Development for mPhase
Technologies, a New Jersey based company, will describe a collaboration
effort with Bell Labs, to build a series of nano scale reserved
batteries having properties such as very long shelf life, high power
and energy densities and characteristic that allow for the design of
integrated power systems for lab on the chip devices not possible with
convention battery technology.
A second
application will be described which uses the unique properties of
silicon to design an ultra sensitive, uncooled magnetometer that
potentially has properties that are 100x to 1000x times greater than
conventional sensors. These would be capable of being used in a wide
variety of applications.
By ultimately
combining the battery and sensor technologies into an integrated
device, lower cost sensor networks can be developed.
