CMOS Sensors Get UV-Transparent Coating

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
DUISBURG, Germany, Feb. 28, 2011 — Image sensors are partially color-blind because their silicon nitride coatings prevent UV light from passing through, making them unsuitable for spectroscopy. Now a new production process, discovered by scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS, makes the coatings transparent — and the sensors suitable for special applications. UV-transparent coating for image sensors. (Image: Fraunhofer IMS) Standard devices in multimedia electronics for a long time, CMOS image sensors are making rapid inroads in high performance applications: They are...Read full article
