Touch Biometrix announced its partnership with SystematIC, an IC design house based in The Netherlands, as part of its go to market strategy.
Touch Biometrix is a fabless developer of a range of capacitive fingerprint sensors called TCAP (Transistor CAPacitance) that are manufactured using thin-film transistors (TFTs) on glass or plastic. Founded in April 2018 Touch Biometrix have so far received £2 million in funding (US$2.6 million) to take their first products to market in Q4 2021.
The company’s first commercially available product will be a large area FAP60 sensor to replace bulk optical sensors. The 500ppi 3D image sensors will have a thin form factor coupled with a significantly lower cost of ownership than existing optical technologies.
“Although the volumes for FAP60 sensors is not as high as for other sized sensors, this is an ideal entry point for us as there is currently a big demand for a slim form factor, high performance FAP60 sensor,” said Touch Biometrix CEO Mike Cowin. “We expect the first samples to come off our production partners lines in Asia in November this year and we are very excited about issuing these samples to our customer pipeline. In parallel we are also working on a solution for full screen finger on display sensors for smartphones.”
