Photonics Spectra on Emerging Image Sensor Applications

Photonics Spectra publishes an article " Emerging Applications Drive Image Sensor Innovations " Hank Hogan. Few quotes: " Vendors are responding by increasing sensor spectral range, integrating new capabilities into devices, and adding features such as 3D imaging. The result can be rapid growth in sensors, even in areas that are relatively stable. For instance, the worldwide market for cars is expanding at a relatively modest pace, according to Geoff Ballew, senior director of marketing in the automotive sensing division of chipmaker ON Semiconductor Corp. of Phoenix. However, tepid growth is not the case for the automotive imaging solutions. “The number of sensors consumed and attached to those cars is growing wildly,” he said. “The image sensor chip business is growing in excess of 15 to 20 percent a year. The reason for that is cameras increasingly are adding new functionality to cars.” Automotive sensors are expected to work from -40 to 125 °C. That interacts with th

DB Hitek Roadmap

DB Hitek (former Dongbu) foundry develops SPAD and GS pixels, as shown on its recent roadmap:

ON Semi Unveils its First SiPM for LiDARs

ON Semi publishes its first sensor for LiDARs , possibly coming from SensL acquisition: " The RA−Series 16−pixel linear array from ON Semiconductor has been designed for automotive LiDAR applications. The array is a single monolithic sensor featuring 16 of ON Semicondcutor’s industry−leading silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) pixels. The SiPM is a single−photon sensitive, high internal gain sensor that has a responsivity of >30 kA/W at 905 nm and operates at a low bias of less than 50 V. "
