Nanusens Announces That It Can Now Create ASICs With Embedded Sensors

Nanusens has announced that it has successfully created a fully digital circuit design to measure the capacitance of its nanosensors. This means that both the sensor structure and its detection circuitry can be made at the same time within a chip using standard CMOS processes on whatever process node is required. As a result, ASICs can now be made with several different sensors embedded within them, helping to expand MEMS applications in hearables.

Nanusens has had its first patent granted in the US, with filings in other countries underway, and has more patents in the process of being applied for. These all protect the company's innovative technology of building nanoscale structures within a standard CMOS metal layers to create novel NEMS (Nano Electro Mechanical Systems) sensors. Nanusens recently appointed Dr Graham Hine as Chairman with the goal of driving growth and fund raising for the nanosensors company.
