CMOS Image Sensor (CIS)

Our advanced and proven CMOS image sensor (CIS) technology is intended to meet the established growing demand for optical sensors used in consumer, industrial, medical and automotive applications. During the past few years, we have seen a massive shift of new designs from using older technologies to using our state of the art 0.18um image sensor platform. Our skilled experts support the customization of pixels per project needs and our superior performance (dark current, low noise and dynamic range) enables a rich offering for various digital imaging applications.

We are the leading foundry for professional image sensor applications focusing on professional high-end video and still photography, medical X-ray for dental and radiography, industrial sensors and machine vision. We also focus on wafer scale stitched X-ray sensors with best-in-class quality and yields. CMOS X-ray sensors are gradually replacing older technologies such as amorphous silicon plates and image intensifier tubes, offering superb performance, unmatched ease of integration and an excellent cost of ownership model for the medical community. Opposite to the huge X-ray sensors, we also produce tiny video cameras for endoscopic use, allowing cost-effective solutions that enable single use disposable endoscopes.

Our lengthy experience in the imaging field, combined with our own CMOS technology developed in-house, enables world-class customized designs and our long-term R&D investment keeps us at the cutting edge.
