Malaysian Institute for Micro-electronics Systems
Zecotek has established a strategic manufacturing partnership with the Malaysian Institute for Micro-electronics Systems (MIMOS) based in Kuala Lumpur to manufacture Zecotek’snew-generation solid-state photo detectors (MAPD). MIMOS is Malaysia’s premier center for advanced micro-electronics technology and manufacturing with a reputation of impressive technical skills and professional integrity of the engineering and management team. Zecotek’s proprietary solid-state photon counters, MAPD, have been designed to offer significant cost and performance advantages over the current vacuum tube based photo multiplier tubes (PMT). Existing PMT’s are key components of medical inspection devices used in blood analysis, DNA sequencing and PET and PET-CT scanners. Additional non-medical applications include: gamma ray detectors for homeland security, environmental monitoring, industrial control systems, robotics, biomedical testing, navigation and guidance systems, laser radars and high-energy physics. Recent testing completed by the University of Washington demonstrated that Zecotek’s MAPD, in combination with its patented LFS scintillation crystal, outperform current PMT’s in critical imaging parameters. The pre-production MAPDs developed in Zecotek labs have also been successfully tested by third-party entities including major medical imaging equipment manufactures, government and international research centers and laboratories. |
