  23. Prospects for improvements of SUTS • Enlarging FOV • 28x is under tuning. 121cm2/h will be possible. • Shorten repetition time • 50views/s w 35x, 60view/s w 50x. Imager accept up to 90views/s. • Bidirectional scanning to increase effective speed. • 8 sec/line to scan, 3 sec to return back to the next line. 55cm2/h : 72cm2/h h ~76% A factor of 2-3 improvement is expected

  24. Evolution of the SUTS Speed in cm2/h In tuning phase In practical use VERSION of SUTS

  25. Concept to the next evolution of emulsion scanning.

  26. Pricing varies depending upon specifications and options ordered, but ranges between $3.5M and $4M The EX-F1 will be available from March 2008 priced at $999.99. ＋ 1film/min

  27. IC-Stepper (Lithographic system) Resolution 350nm or better NA 0.63 Exposure light source i-line (365nm) Reduction ratio 1:5 Exposure field 22mm square to 17.9 (H)  25.2 (V)mm Alignment accuracy 40nm or better  It is possible, by stepping only 56 times, to cover entire sheet with enough resolution.

  28. Giga Pixel Imaging System • Requirements • Total number of pixels should be ten to the ninth power • To cover 20mm20mm in 0.5mm pitch, it needs 40k40k pixels. • The frame rate should be 12fps in average. • Pixel rate becomes ~20Gpixels/sec It is possible by employing a mosaic imager

  29. Giga Pixel Imaging System (2) • IMX017CQE (SONY) is a good candidate of this purpose • Pixel size 2.5mm • Resolution 2880×2160 • Frame rate 　 60fps • Pixel rate 373Mpixel/s is priced at $999.99

  30. Speed and Coverage of Mosaic Imager Effective FOV 21.55×20.9 mm2×0.28 (1450×1100mm2×80) Effective pixel size 0.5mm Repetition time 1.5 sec /16depth/fullarea (4 steps/view) Max. scan speed 12000cm2/h (150cm2/h×80) 20mm

  31. Possibility of track recognition part • An SUTS processor can perform ~100cm2/h •  Its is possible, with ~120 boards, to process emulsion images taken by this optics. • According to Moore’s law, we can expected much better computing technology, which is lower cost, smaller profile and low power consumption. • SUTS processor is based on 0.13um process. Since 0.065um process is popular now, ¼ foot print and 2 times faster speed a unit will be possible. It’s NOT a problem.

  32. Summary • 　A scanning speed of ~72cm2/h has been achieved in practical use. 121cm2/h version is under tuning phase. • It is possible, with the popular technologies, to achieve a scanning speed up to 1 film per minute.
