e2v Technologies
e2v Technologies of Chelmsford, UK, has increased production of
its dental x-ray sensors, which incorporate the 0.18-μm CMOS image sensor technology
of TowerJazz of Migdal Haemek, Israel. The two companies will work to create a new
generation of system-on-chip dental sensors that benefit from high image quality
and advanced levels of integration and embedded capabilities. Replacing conventional
x-ray film, dental intraoral x-ray sensors provide dentists with an instant digital
image on a screen rather than on film that must be developed. Over the past year,
e2v has progressively increased its production, using TowerJazz’s Fab2 to
meet the demand of the dental x-ray sensor market. Tower Semiconductor Ltd. and
its fully owned subsidiary, Jazz Semiconductor, operate collectively under the brand
TowerJazz, which manufactures integrated circuits.
