Project Overview
Wafer-Scale Integrated Sensing Devices based on Optoelectronic Metasurfaces (WISDOM) focuses on semiconductor wafer growth and processing for photonic applications.
This program aims to pioneer a wafer-scale integrated platform which seamlessly combines metasurface optics, optoelectronic devices with a focus on light emitting diodes (LEDs) and vertical surface emitting laser arrays (VCSELs), and silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) electronics.
Researchers from MIT, NUS, NTU, A*STAR, Stanford University and University of Illinois form a uniquely qualified interdisciplinary team possessing the skills and infrastructure needed to perform the proposed research. WISDOM program will also involve a strong network of industry partners which are committed to development and translation of the WISDOM technology, thereby enabling outcomes from the program to make a direct impact on industrial applications.
