In a paper titled “Evolution of Image Sensor Architectures With Stacked Device Technologies” in IEEE TED (June 2022) Y. Oike writes: The evolution of CMOS image sensors and their prospects using advanced imaging technologies are promising candidates to improve the quality of life. With the rapid advent of parallel analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and back-illuminated (BI) technology, CMOS image sensors currently dominate the market for digital cameras, and stacked CMOS image sensors continue to provide enhanced functionality and user experience in mobile devices. This article reviews the latest achievements in stacked image sensors with respect to the evolution of image sensor architecture for accelerating performance improvements, extending sensing capabilities, and integrating edge computing with various stacked device technologies.

When doctors stray from science into junk science Bert Vorstman, MD PSA testing and prostate cancer management remain controversial. In recognition of the fact that many prostate cancer treatments are harmful and that many low-risk prostate cancers can be outlived without intervention, a less hurried active surveillance program was developed…

When I first started work on my doctoral degree, a project skirting the lines of neuroscience and molecular genetics, I had a mild idea of what I wanted from the science I was about to pursue and what I was getting into. And although I had a certain anticipation for…

Sigmaintell report on smartphone image sensors According to Sigmaintell, the global mobile phone image sensor shipments in 2021 will be approximately 5.37B units, a YoY decrease of about 11.8%; among which, the global mobile phone image sensor shipments in 4Q21 will be about 1.37B units, a YoY decrease. About 25.3%. At the same time, it is…

The human body is incredibly complex — each organ made of different tissues with trillions of cells and millions of proteins in each one that orchestrate every biological process. Biomedical research has advanced our understanding of how our bodies work, but it still only provides a snapshot of the human…

ST presents its 4.6um iToF sensor at ESSCIRC 2021 that appears to be quite close to production, judging by the large team size: “ 4.6μm Low…
