Corporate Snapshot

The most precise measurement system on the planet.

� Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) are a technology based on the integration of extremely tiny mechanical and electrical elements.

� MEMS sensors can measure a wide variety of physical properties such as acceleration, gravity, temperature, pressure and basically anything biological or chemical in nature - such as the indicators of various diseases and cancers.

� Current consumer applications include:

- detection of rain on car windshield to turn on automatic wipers;

- detection of movement to tell a smartphone which way is up to rotate the screen;

- changes in speed that deploy car airbags (there are already typically 50 MEMS sensors in a modern cars).

� MEMS devices typically consist of two components:

- MEMS sensors: which detect and measure the presence of a substance; and

- Readout systems: which collect and communicate the data that is measured

� All MEMS sensors need a readout system to assess and communicate the data that they measure.

MEMS Architecture

The most precise measurement system on the planet.

� Currently the majority of MEMS readout systems measure and communicate information electronically via techniques using changes in capacitance, piezoelectric materials or piezoresistive materials. These are subject to interference from electrical ‘noise’ from nearby devices and the environment.

� The alternative, which is more sensitive and therefore more accurate, is an optical system using a laser directed at a MEMS sensor. These techniques can be based on optical leveraging (see Figure 1), optical interferometry or the Doppler effect.

� However, existing optical readout systems are only able to operate in laboratories due to their size (similar to that of a washing machine), sensitivity to vibration, and the need to precisely align the laser with the tip of the tiny MEMS sensor.

� Current optical readout systems are unable to measure more than eight MEMS sensors at a time due to the difficulties in aligning an external laser with the tip of the MEMS sensor.

� In addition, optical leveraging techniques such as in Figure 1 are only usable with MEMS based on cantilever structures, and cannot operate with MEMS based on structures such as microbridges or membranes.

Competing Technology

The most precise measurement system on the planet.

� By contrast, the LumiMEMS Reader™ is a portable, robust and autonomous readout system that is able to integrate with all existing MEMS devices and can measure hundreds of sensors at a time.

� It combines the accuracy and sensitivity of the optical reader with the size, portability and ability to read multiple sensors of the electrical system, but without the shortcomings of interference from electronic ‘noise’.

� The LumiMEMS Reader™ is able to operate in air, water and

other fluids or in a vacuum and can be made from materials much more heat resistant than those used in an electrical system. It is therefore able to be deployed in harsh environments such as down a drill hole or inside the cylinder shaft of a car engine.

� Panorama’s current suite of granted patents covers USA, Australia, Europe and Asia; and extends to biological and chemical detection using an optical micro-cantilever detection and an atomic force microscope application.

� Panorama’s LumiMEMS Reader™ will cost the same or less to produce than existing technology and there are a number of existing foundries that can mass produce it.

Panorama’s Technology

The most precise measurement system on the planet.

� The LumiMEMS Reader™ is able to read multiple sensors on a single chip by using wave division multiplexing (WDM) (see Figure 3). Its integration into silicon will use well known, widely used techniques.

� It can read hundreds of MEMS structures at a time – whether micro-cantilevers, microbridges, membranes or a combination - the equivalent of reading hundreds of individual bench mounted optical readout systems simultaneously.

� This makes it statistically more accurate than existing optical readers. It can therefore detect substances sooner than existing readers and detect the previously undetectable as long as it is chemical or biological in nature.

� The integration of multi-sensing MEMS that are both robust

and portable into different devices has the potential to transform a range of consumer and industrial sectors.

� Some examples include point-of-care diagnostic machines

to provide instantaneous bedside patient diagnosis; devices to measure the presence of dangerous gases down mine shafts; or devices to measure the freshness of food or the presence of allergens.

current addressable market for MEMS sensors (Figure 4) and open up a wave of new MEMS devices.

� These new devices can be applied across numerous industries to provide solutions which will transform everyday life as we know it.

EXISTING MEMS MARKET � For decades MEMS devices have been improving our cars,

phones, industry, medicine and life in general. � The MEMS market - which uses electrical readout systems - is

estimated to be $14 billion in 2014, growing to over $22 billion by 2018, a CAGR of 13% per annum (see Figure 4)

THE INTERNET OF THINGS � Every device in the world is being connected to the internet

and every connected device will have multiple MEMS sensors. � This rapidly developing “Internet of Things” industry will

generate nearly $9 trillion in annual sales by 2020 according to The International Data Corporation.

The most precise measurement system on the planet.

1. Surface functionalization – to bond to the substances we wish to detect

2. Static – stationary micro-cantilever bends when substance sticks

3. Dynamic – vibrating micro-cantilever changes frequency of vibration when substance sticks

13

� Initially a MEMS device called a micro-cantilever has to collect data, as explained below:

1. a suspended micro-cantilever clamped at one end is created.

2. the micro-cantilever is coated with a substance that sticks to the specific chemical being sensed (functionalization layer).

3. The micro-cantilever will vibrate at its natural frequency.

4. If the chemical being sensed sticks to the micro-cantilever, that vibration frequency will change, and if that change is able to be detected, then one has an incredibly sensitive device.

� To be sensitive enough, the micro-cantilever needs to be tiny, typically one tenth of a mm long, and the frequency that it vibrates at is over 20,000 times a second.

� Research teams around the world continue to create new functionalization layers - coatings which are applied to MEMS sensors to determine which agent they are programmed to detect. Any substance that can have its functionalization material determined, can then be detected.

Figure 6: Isometric view of the proposed interrogating grating structure.

� In sensing applications, the micro-cantilever changes its height or mechanical resonance frequency in response to an absorbed analyte on its surface (as per previous slide).

� An optically resonant cavity is created when a micro-cantilever with a reflective under surface is suspended above a diffraction grating etched into a waveguide (see Figures 6 and 7).

� When infra-red light travels through the silicon waveguide, the grating will diffract some of the light out of the waveguide towards the micro-cantilever.

� The micro-cantilever reflects the light back towards the grating, creating an interferometric effect. The intensity of the light travelling through the waveguide is hence amplitude modulated by movement of the micro-cantilever.

� Light goes into the silicon waveguide via an input grating coupler and out via an output grating coupler to provide a sensitive measure of the micro-cantilever deflection.

� The amount of light that reaches the other side will depend on the height of the micro-cantilever.
