Ultimate goal of the semiconductor-based hardware system would be a full imitation of the human's function such as feeling emotions, learning, and thinking, etc. To do that with semiconductor-based hardware, sensing the information will be an inevitable functionality. Sensing the visual information is one of the most important features to enable lots of tasks such as pattern recognition, real-time image processing, self-adaptive detecting, etc.

Therefore, we are exploring the semiconductor devices such as photo-responsible synapse, visible-infrared imagers, stacked multi-color hyperspectral imagers and their integration technologies.
