At today's IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting, IMEC presents a monolithically integrated 11 megapixel micro-mirror array for high-end industrial applications, a world's first both in terms of pixel density and reliability. Each mirror in the array is 8µm x 8µm and can be individually tilted by the high-speed integrated CMOS circuitry underneath the array. This device fits in IMEC's CMORE initiative, which offers cost-effective solutions for continued system scaling, not by shrinking CMOS but by focusing on monolithic co-integration of heterogeneous technology.
IMEC's 10cm² 11 megapixel mirror array has a pixel density that is almost double that of comparable state-of-the-art micro-mirrors.
