Packaging Wide choice of sensor packaging available: • -CB01: Chip on Board (COB) with zebra connection • -CB02: COB with flex connector • -CB03: COB with board to board connector
New Packagings • -CB06: Molded package with flex cable • -CB07: Molded package with zebra connection • -CB08: Small COB with zebra connection • -CB09: Small COB with flex connector
Packaging – A step ahead! *** Colors available on CB01, CB02, CB03, CB08, CB09 *** These colors are just for proof-of-concept. Other colors can be made available.
Packaging Rules • Understand Customer need and constraints first ! • Do not oversell packaging specs ! • Sell existing packaging first: customers are happy to see lots of possibilities but most often choose between CB01, CB02 and CB08
A Biometric solution S/W • Current business model: • Atmel sells the FingerChip only (and processing facility for SM01), • recommends packaging solutions • gives and supports drivers & image reconstruction, • and qualifies and proposes partners who are not exclusive • Future business model: • Atmel will provide a biometric solution including bio-engine, and will get closer to the application level • Partners become exclusive on specific market segments or applications Software application Bio-engine driver Image reconstruction FingerChip Platform packaging and ergonomics (constraints) Platform archi : Proc, OS, interface... (constraints) other constraints(power consumption…) H/W
How to engage a customer? Identify the need • In terms of application: • What is the product (cell phone, PDA, what kind)? • What is the usage (logon, data encryption, etc…)? • What is the expected performance? • How many users? Authentication or Identification? • In terms of architecture: • What is the processor? Operating System? • How much memory is available? • What interface is required? • What are the system resources (bus speed, power supply, …)
How to engage a customer? Identify the need • In terms of packaging: • Max size in length, width, thickness • Flat packaging required or finger guide allowed? • Colors or not? • Get back to Grenoble with these data • We will provide technical support, quotation, advice on best software/packaging for the application
Competition Overview • More complete analysis available on Intranet • AuthenTec: • Most serious competitor, leading vendor on the market • Active capacitive technology • Vertical approach with software included • ST Microelectronics: • Also claiming to target telco and IT markets. • Active in gvt projects, pushing hard on IT (notebooks) • Passive capacitive technology
Competition Overview • Fujitsu • Catching up on swipe sensor • Apparently not so good quality • Infineon: • Stopped sensor production • Fingerprint Cards • New patent • Small company, difficulties to do business
FingerChip Successes • HP iPAQ 5450/5550 • Sharp Tablet PC • USB readers
FingerChip Successes • Safes • USB dongles • Inclusion in Intel Product Evaluation List for notebooks biometric solutions (only two swipe sensors)
