Innovations in CMOS image sensor (CIS) technology continue to enhance digital imaging landscape. While the demand has been driven by smartphone makers, leveraging enhanced photo-taking capabilities to ...

Demand for imaging in the shortwave-infrared (SWIR) range (between 1000 and 2000 nm) has been on the rise in recent years. Sensors for these SWIR wavelengths prove critical in industries such as food ...

A technical paper titled “A Review of the Recent Developments in the Fabrication Processes of CMOS Image Sensors for Smartphones” was published by researchers at Texas A&M University. “CMOS Image ...

Solid state image sensors require protection from the ambient atmosphere. First-generation imagers were housed in standard semiconductor packages with glass lids. These were hermetic and delivered ...

Micron says its image-sensor division, now called Aptina, is more independent and responsive. Also new: better sensors and even smaller cell phone cameras. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 ...

Process sensor technology—the mainstay instrumentation that monitors temperature, pressure and flow levels—has remained fairly steady over the years against a backdrop of accelerating digital ...

Waymo has been granted a patent for an apparatus that includes a lens assembly, image sensor, actuator, and capacitive position sensor to adjust the position of the image sensor along the optical axis ...

What’s going on inside the latest cameras has a lot to say about the state of the art in digital imagers. This report offers tear-down analyses of CMOS image sensors (CISs) in mobile phones and ...

When you snap a photo on your phone or rely on a car’s camera for lane detection, you’re trusting an unseen network of technologies to deliver or interpret image data flawlessly. But behind the scenes ...
