The team of Technology & Medicine, Inc. with the University of Delaware will design, fabricate and test commercial versions of THz sources and detectors using SiGe semiconductor technology that is compatible with Silicon Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (Si CMOS) circuitry. In this project the commercialization will focus on biological and medial products. We will demonstrate a source and detector proof-of-concept system that can be used for the imaging of biological and chemical systems. The involvement of small business will be to test approaches and techniques for using THz devices in commercial systems. Our plan is to create a new business for THz technology. Technology & Medicine will follow two tracks to commercialize THz technology. In the first track discrete THz source and detectors will be fabricated for the commercial market. Third party fabrication facilities will be used. In the second track imaging and sensing systems will be developed. In particular we will focus on biological imaging. Technology & Medicine will also look to form alliance with a major compatible manufacturing partner.
