OmniVision claims 8 megapixel OmniBSI sensor turns cellphone imaging world "upside down"

The Article has images
2008-05-27 03:19:00 by Thomas Ricker in Engadget
...OmniVision, the largest CMOS image sensor manufacturer today, says they've solved the pixel size problem though backside illumination (BSI) technology. In essence, BSI helps maximize photon collection by circumventing obstructive metal and dielectric layers on the top-side of the sensor die. The result is improved light absorption, thinner...

2008-05-27 08:38:11 by Editor in Ubergizmo
OmniVision's latest 8 megapixel imaging sensor will probably make its way into cell phones sometime in the near future, as this CMOS image sensor apparently solves the pixel size problem thanks to a workaround using backside illumination (BSI) technology. BSI maximizes photon collection by "circumventing obstructive metal and dielectric layers...

2008-06-11 05:58:00 by Thomas Ricker in Engadget
...OmniVision's achievment . Sony's sensor features 1.75 micron pixels totalling 5 effective megapixels capable of 60fps and offers low noise at twice the sensitivity of traditional sensors at the same pixel size. That's a signal to noise ratio of +8dB (+6dB sensitivity, -2dB noise), nerds. Nice Sony, but OmniVision's 8 megapixel sensor...
