Custom CMOS image sensor design on a budget

Drawing upon a team of specialists with a broad range of experience in image sensor design, SI Sensors is creating custom image sensor designs with high performance. In particular, the company’s in-house experts have specialist knowledge of visible and non-visible imaging technologies, optimised light detection and charge transfer, radiation-hard sensor design, and creating CCD-in-CMOS pixels to enable novel imaging techniques such as ultra-fast burst mode imaging.

Philip Brown, General Manager of SI Sensors said: “In addition to developing new sensors for Specialised Imaging’s next generation of ultra-fast imaging cameras utilising the latest foundry technologies, we are developing solutions for other customers with unique image sensor design requirements including for space and defence applications.”

He added: “SI Sensors team also use their skills and experience to develop bespoke image sensor packages that accommodate custom electrical, mechanical, and thermal interface requirements. Our aim is always to achieve the best balance between image sensor performance and cost (optimised value) for customers. To ensure performance and consistent quality and reliability we perform detailed electro-optical testing from characterisation through to mass production testing adhering to industry standards such as EMVA 1288.”
