Demand for Versatile CMOS Sensors Continues to Grow

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Scientific and consumer markets are driving heavy demand for CMOS sensors, and developments such as AI compatibility are at hand.

Twenty-five years ago, physicist and engineer Eric Fossum predicted the end of the charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging sensor1. Fossum, a Dartmouth University professor who was then at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab just north of Pasadena, Calif., helped develop the first complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel imaging sensors. In the intervening decades, Fossum’s prediction came true; CMOS imagers, spurred by high demand in the smartphone industry, have become commonplace in nearly every type of consumer camera and in most scientific imagers as well. More than 4...Read full article
