We will partner with InVisage Technologies Canada, a Series-A venture-backed start-up located in downtown Toronto, to advance the company's proprietary image sensor technology. We will contribute to InVisage's demonstrating the full feature set, as well as the reliability and manufacturability, required of its first product.     2005 NSERC I2I Phase I led to the demonstration of a low-cost solution-processed image sensor technology that allows photodetection more sensitive than using epitaxially-grown photodetectors. This enabled us to found InVisage Technologies and attract US7.5M in venture capital. At the same time we completed an exclusive worldwide license agreement between InVisage and the University of Toronto, enabling InVisage to commercialize the technology.     The present project will help transform the licensed technology into a line of products. We will:1. Extend the sensitivity of the technology further into the short-wavelength infrared, allowing us to address military and security markets that require unilluminated night vision.2. Remove lag, allowing the product to produce ghost-free video.3. Stabilize devices using on-chip encapsulation, allowing reliability requirements for commercial products to be met.4. Stabilize the set of processes leading to consistent device performance, turning the technology into a manufacturable, high-yielding method.

我们将与InVisage Technologies Canada合作，这是一家由a轮风险投资支持的初创公司，位于多伦多市中心，以推进该公司的专有图像传感器技术。我们将为InVisage展示其首款产品所需的完整功能集以及可靠性和可制造性做出贡献。2005年，NSERC I2I I阶段展示了一种低成本的解决方案处理图像传感器技术，该技术允许光探测比使用外延生长的光电探测器更敏感。这使我们成立了InVisage Technologies，并吸引了750万美元的风险投资。与此同时，我们完成了InVisage和多伦多大学之间的全球独家许可协议，使InVisage能够将该技术商业化。目前的项目将有助于将授权技术转化为一系列产品。我们将:1。将该技术的灵敏度进一步扩展到短波长的红外线，使我们能够解决需要无照明夜视的军事和安全市场。消除延迟，使产品产生无鬼视频。使用片上封装稳定器件，从而满足商业产品的可靠性要求。稳定一组导致一致设备性能的工艺，将该技术转变为可制造的高产量方法。
