SpectroChip is a breakthrough technology that integrates all the functions of an optical spectrometer on a chip with the size of half an SD card. It is designed and fabricated using X-ray lithography and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The current chip module includes the slit, micro concave grating and mirror and has a spectral range from 300 to 1000 nm. SpectroChip technology has the advantage of high performance with high sensitivity and accuracy while achieving chip-size miniaturization. This technology is being applied to the development of ultra-compact optical sensors and/or devices that can deliver real-time spectral data and analysis. Examples include novel optical sensor modules and ultra-compact, high-performance spectrophotometers capable of UV/VIS and florescence analysis for research lab and educational purposes.
In this webinar Dr. Ko will describe the SpectroChip technology, its integration into optical spectrum processing units, and real-world sensing applications in Health Care, Food Safety, and Semiconductor Processing and Metrology.

Kevin (Cheng-Hao) Ko received his Physics Ph.D. from State University of New York, Stony Brook (SUNY, Stony Brook) in 1995. During his thesis research, he worked at Beamline X1A of the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to construct the world's first Mult-channel Scanning Photoemission Electron Microscope (SPEM) by focusing soft X-rays using a zone plate under the supervision of Prof. Janos Kirz. After receiving his Ph.D. degree, he was invited by Taiwan Nation Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) to lead a team to develop X-ray Microcopy technology in Taiwan. By 1999 Ko’s team had successfully developed the world’s most advanced SPEM. After that, Dr. Ko started to devote his efforts to developing the SpectroChip technology. After nearly 20 years of research and development, Ko’s team was finally able to mass produce the SpectroChip using wafer-based methodology and founded the company SpectroChip, Inc. This technology received 9 national best innovation awards in Taiwan and one international best application award in Asia. To enable further global business development of the SpectoChip technology, in 2023, Dr. Ko and Dr. Sean Lin founded SPU System Inc.
