Development of thermally-stable NIR absorbing films

Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing film is an essential component of CMOS image sensor modules. In order to exploit the intense NIR absorbing performance of heptamethine cyanine dyes for this application, their thermal stability must be improved. In a new study, a series of heptamethine cyanine dyes were synthesised in which the meso-substituent and the counter anion…
