An image sensor is an “electronic eye” that transforms the light coming through the lens into electric signals. It is applied in a multitude of aspects of our everyday life throughout society. In addition to digital cameras and other imaging applications to convert visible scenes to image data, the scope of its application is expanding to include sensing, for example, in specialized cameras (UV: ultraviolet, IR: infrared, polarized light, etc.) employed in manufacturing plants, capturing and recognizing diverse information which our eyes cannot perceive.

Each photodiode is equipped with an amplifier, so that the converted electricity is amplified on the spot and turned into a signal. All these signals are transmitted straightaway.

How does image sensor workphysics

There are two major types of image sensors: CCD, or charge coupled device and CMOS, or complementary metal oxide semiconductor. The CMOS image sensor has advantages over the CCD image sensor in terms of speed and power consumption, and for this reason, it is becoming a preferred choice in many areas, such as smartphones and digital cameras.

Image sensorapplications

Light is turned into electricity by each photodiode, which relays the electricity. The amplifier located at the exit amplifies the electricity and turn it into a signal.

CMOS image sensors are applied in a variety of sectors, from the mobility and mobile to industrial robots. Find out how they are used in real contexts of these fields of applications.

Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SSS) had a major business shift in 2004 from CCD image sensors, of which the company had the largest market share at the time, to CMOS image sensors despite being a late-comer in this field. Leveraging the years of expertise and know-how in CCD image sensors, SSS devoted much resources to the development and production of CMOS image sensors. Today, SSS has come to enjoy the top market share in this type of image sensor.

A CMOS image sensor is faster and consumes less power than a CCD image sensor. On top of these, it is compatible with the system integration arrangement, meaning that both an analog and digital circuits can be mounted onto a single chip.Early models of CMOS image sensors were inferior to CCD image sensors in terms of image quality for being more susceptible to noise and less sensitive. However, technological innovations made it possible to capture high-quality moving and still images, exceeding that of CCD image sensors. Adding improved image quality to its advantages of high speed and low power consumption, the CMOS image sensor supports the advancement of various cameras.

Light is turned into electricity by each photodiode, which relays the electricity. The amplifier located at the exit amplifies the electricity and turn it into a signal.

In 2007, SSS launched a CMOS image sensor with its original Column-Parallel A/D Conversion Circuit, realizing high speed and low noise performance. Then in 2009, we brought to the market a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor which doubled the sensitivity on conventional models. It surpassed the performance of CCD image sensors. In 2012, a stacked CMOS image sensor was commercialized thanks to the stacked structure of the pixel and logic sections, achieving high image quality, multi-function, and smaller size. Further in 2015, we succeeded in realizing an applied Cu-Cu (copper-copper) connection, the first of its kind in the world, which enabled a smaller size, high performance, and improved productivity. SSS continues to lead the industry through its perpetual innovations in technology.
