e2v's standard and custom CMOS image sensor solutions are now available with a newly developed generation of global shutter pixels from TowerJazz. This advanced solution has been developed at TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor Co. (TPSCo), made possible by long heritage and proven experience in imaging technology. Working together, e2v and TowerJazz have used their combined expertise to leverage this new technology and accelerate its availability to the market within a rapid time frame.

TPSCo’s ability to produce premium quality image sensors enabled TowerJazz to develop a significantly smaller global shutter pixel. e2v then integrated this new technology into its state-of-the-art industrial sensors. This innovation offers highly optimised electro-optical performance with impressively low dark current noise characteristics. This solution is the world’s smallest global shutter pixel, on a 110nm technology node with extremely high shutter efficiency. It will also serve next generation industrial and 3D gesture recognition market segments.

The new technology platform from TowerJazz will be transferred from Arai, Japan to Migdal Haemek, Israel to support large sensors and stitching, providing dual sourcing to its growing customer base. The overall image sensor market is predicted to be worth 17.5 Billion USD by 2020 and this new product offering will enable e2v and Towerjazz to capitalise on this market growth.

e2v’s standard and custom CMOS image sensors will be exhibited at VISION, Messe Stuttgart, Germany, 8-10 November 2016.
