Backside-Patterned Nanostructured Lens in BSI CMOS Sensors
This invention introduces a novel approach to enhancing backside-illuminated (BSI) Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) sensors by integrating patterned nanostructured lens elements, such as metalenses, directly into the backside silicon layer or additional material layers. Unlike conventional microlens arrays, these nanostructured lenses...

Engineered Mirror to Increase the Radiative Cooling Capacity of Windows
This technology introduces a novel mirror-based system designed to enhance the radiative cooling performance of windows. By reflecting thermal infrared (IR) radiation emitted by the window toward the sky while blocking ambient IR radiation from the ground, the system improves passive cooling efficiency. The mirror is coated with a spectrally selective...
