    1. Micro & Nanotechnologies for displays and data storage in portable systems: a quick overview Dr. Eric Mounier YOLE DEVELOPPEMENT

    3. Competitive technologies Non-microsystems technologies: LCD: a mature and established technology OLED are being developed and is competing with the conventional LCD technology Players: Sanyo (availability in 2003), CDT (UK) Microsystems technologies (integrating µoptical, µelectronical, µmechanical features in the µm range): Micro-mirror arrays or MMAs Grated Light Valves or GLVs Liquid Crystal on Si or LCOS Field Emission Dispalys or FED

    4. LCD

    5. An improvement to the LCD: the BiNEM Technology The BiNem® technology is the latest generation of LCD technology keeping display content without any power supply The BiNem® technology has a very high performance level : excellent contrast, very wide viewing angle and neutral colorimetry. Potential applications in smart cards, e-tags Player: Nemoptic (www.nemoptic.fr)

    6. OLEDs

    7. Microsystems technologies: MMA, GLC

    8. Microsystems technologies: LCOS, FEDs

    9. FPDs’ characteristics

    10. Microdisplays roadmap

    11. Evolution of the needs in data storage New applications and services lead to data storage increase: E-Medicine, video on request, interactive 3D video, genome database, biometric data base (finger prints) … And new technologies are developed: Magnetic storage is the most used technology today and Thin Film Heads have increasing performances But superparamagnetic effect limit could be reached (60 – 70 Gb/in˛ is the limit) Other technologies are currently developed to reach 100 Gb/in˛ in 2005: Optical technologies: Holography Blue laser Nanotechnologies: Nanomechanical storage Atomic resolution storage (the quantum level of an atom becomes the storage media; HP + Darpa project; Objective: 1 Tb/in2 in 2007) …

    12. Applications roadmap

    13. An example of optical technologies: blue laser diodes, the challenge 9 major players have prepared specifications for the next generation of optical disk: « Blue-ray Disc » based on blue-violet laser diode Players are: Hitachi, LG, Matsushita, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony and Thomson. Capacity: 27 Go for 1 single side disk.

    14. Blue laser diodes, state of art Today, only Nichia (J) is commercializing blue laser semiconductor based on GaN grown on sapphire. Its life-time is approximately 15.000 hours for 30 mW power, which is compatible DVD applications. Outsiders are: Sony (J): 15.000 hours (not commercialized) Cree (US): 1000 hours Xerox (US): 100 hours Samsung (K): 2 hours Osram (D) NTT, Toyoda Gosei, Sharp have demonstrators Prices remain very confidential and appears to be not compatible with high volume production of appliances today (Nichia: 1500 € / chip in 2000)

    15. An example of nano-device: the Millipede (IBM) High-density data storage system based on AFM: Thermomechanical storage: Tiny depressions melted by an AFM tip into a polymer medium represent stored data bits that can then be read by the same tip Densities in the hundreds of Gb/in˛ range The read/write head consists of an array of more than 1 000 thermomechanical probes, fabricated on a single silicon chip using VLSI microfabrication techniques Packaging issue ?

    16. Technical characteristics

    17. Technologies roadmap

    18. Conclusions Today, portable applications are driving micro and nanotechnologies developments Some challenges are : Development of high resolution microdisplays with low consumption Increase of data storage capacity Micro-displays technologies: OLED Micro-mirrors FED w/ CNT Data storage. Read/Write heads is still the main MST market: more than 13 billion $ in 2005 Nano-thermomechanical system using arrays of AFM tips. Hundreds of Gb/in˛ could be achieved. But the magnetic limit is not yet reached !
