The Future of CMOS — Insights from a Visionary.  In conversation with Professor Nigel Allinson MBE

Professor Nigel Allinson MBE, one of the founders of ISDI, discusses the future trajectory of CMOS technology, in relation to Scientific and Medical imaging. Its challenges, opportunities, and its critical role in shaping next-generation of sensors and detectors. In this exclusive interview, Professor Nigel Allinson MBE shares his deep expertise and forward-looking perspectives on CMOS’s evolution in an increasingly demanding semiconductor landscape.

Here are some of the key points Professor Allinson discusses:

  • Two-sided processing

  • Exploring different primary detection materials: alternatives to Caesium iodide (CsI) and Gadolinium Oxysulfide (Gd₂O₂S)

  • The move in life sciences and chemistry from Ultra Violet (UV) to Near Infrared (NIR).

  • The need for lower noise

  • The importance of radiation hardness

  • Artificial Intelligence, bringing more intelligence onto the chip
