Executive Summary o Executive Summary o Reverse Costing Methodology o Glossary NanoLambda brings spectrometry to consumers. The second spectrometer to be integrated in a smartphone or other IoT equipment is very small, with an area of 7.5 mm x 6.5 mm and only 5.7mm of thickness. To provide spectral analysis, NanoLambda s distinguishing feature eliminates the optical network usual in spectrometers, replacing it with a bespoke 32x32 filter array based on a technological breakthrough, the plasmonic filter. The very thin filter array is manufactured at the wafer level just after the metal layers directly on the light sensor array IC, it is a monolithic solution. The light sensor array circuit is specific with large pixels to increase the sensitivity of the spectrometer. All data processing is done by a exterior processor. The report also includes a comparison between the characteristics of the NSP32-V1 and the SCIO Molecular sensor from Consumer Physics. The comparison highlights differences in technical choices made by the companies and their impacts on the process flow and manufacturing cost. Based on a complete teardown of the NanoLambda Spectrometer, the report provides technology and cost analysis with a detailed focus on the spectrometer module. Complete cost analysis is provided, fully disclosing the potential for mass adoption of the component. 2017 System Plus Consulting NanoLambda NSP32-V1 Spectrometer 3
Reverse Costing Methodology o Executive Summary o Reverse Costing Methodology o Glossary The reverse costing analysis is conducted in 3 phases: Teardown analysis Package is analyzed and measured The dies are extracted in order to get overall data: dimensions, main blocks, pad number and pin out, die marking Setup of the manufacturing process. Costing analysis Setup of the manufacturing environment Cost simulation of the process steps Selling price analysis Supply chain analysis Analysis of the selling price 2017 System Plus Consulting NanoLambda NSP32-V1 Spectrometer 4
