BusinessWire: While BSI sensors have been available for more than 10 years in many cellphones and standard digital cameras, the manufacturing process is inherently more difficult than comparable FSI sensors as it requires additional manufacturing steps. The realities of semiconductor economics have also made it difficult to transfer the technology from the high production volumes of standard cameras to the lower volumes of high-speed imaging sensors.Overcoming these issues, Forza Silicon leveraged its Integrated Production Services (IPS) capabilities to optimize the manufacturing process for BSI sensors and achieve practical yields.
“These in-house services include prototype and wafer probe development, qualification services, yield optimization, and production test and delivery,” says Loc Duc Truong, VP of Engineering, Forza Silicon. “Together, these capabilities have enabled us to overcome the manufacturing challenges associated with BSI sensors.”
The high-speed BSI sensor design is the result of a collaboration between Forza Silicon and Vision Research.
