Compiled by EuroPhotonics staff

DUISBURG, Germany – Silicon nitride coatings block ultraviolet and blue light, making image sensors ill-equipped for spectroscopy applications. But a new production process renders the coatings transparent, making the sensors suitable for special applications. CMOS image sensors are no longer used only in cell phones and digital cameras: They are making rapid inroads in high-performance applications. For example, the automotive industry has discovered the potential of optical semiconductor chips and is increasingly using them in driver-assistance systems – from parking aids and lane detection to...Read full article
