Since someone just pointed out that the Pixim weblink in the ISW vendor list was dead, I decided to put up Pixim datasheets next.  These are different from most because Pixim sold a chipset that included the sensor and a matching processor to turn the chip outputs (basically timing data) into digital image data.  Pixim also made several demonstration cameras. Sony bought Pixim in 2012 and stopped making Pixim-type chips a couple of years later because they felt they had a better way to do HDR imaging. The debate continues.

In order to eliminate the delays involved in reproducing jobs listings in detail, the method of reporting is changing. Starting today, this Jobs Update will be a report on job listings rather than the listings themselves.  Even in the apparent slowdown in the job market, the number of listings is still quite large and the backlog of listings that might be of interest is much larger.

To manage this situation, we will proceeds as follows: for the next few weeks, the posting will focus each week on a small number of employers with multiple openings. Relevant job titles with their locations and original listing links will be posted. The job descriptions will no be included simply because they are all so long - click the links to see the details. Please note that we will attempt always to link to the original listing on the employer website, not to job boards.

Weekly job lists in ISW will continue to have individual links for four weeks but since many jobs remain unfilled longer than that, the older postings will be held in an archive for a year. The link to the archive is positioned below the four week links.

Initially, some of the postings may be several months old but, at some point, our listings will catch up with the backlog and each weekly posting will include only recent additions.

Image Sensors World is pleased to introduce its compiled list of conferences and exhibitions that include image sensor topics and products. The range includes everything from device physics and designs to applications and test. Included are on-site meetings, on-line webinars and various sorts of hybrid and archived events.

Because many meetings keep the presented materials available on-line for extended periods, each event will remain in the listings for one year or until the next session of the event occurs, whichever is shorter. New events will be listed as soon as they are announced and grouped by the month the event is scheduled to begin.

The ISW list will be broader than the individual posts announcing events that ar4e focused on image sensor such as the IISW or some of the IEEE meetings. Those posts will continue to assure that ISW readers are aware of them in time to submit papers or make travel plans.

Building the list will take some time so the postings will be added in chronological order with those scheduled soonest first. Listings will be brief, giving the sponsor, event name, location, dates and a link to the event website.  Note that often the links change as the date of the event approaches. Occasionally, additional information will be supplied that affects who can attend - security clearance or membership requirements, for example.

Most events require payment for attendance to technical sessions and some charge for exhibits. These listings will not include the costs because those are often contingent on time, membership, discounts and other factors. See the event websites for registration details. 

Finally, if you are reading the listings looking for opportunities to exhibit your products, those with associated exhibitions will usually have exhibitor information sections on their websites. Please consult them as early as possible. Many popular shows are sold out long before the event begins and some require reservations years in advance.

Feel free to post comments on the shows - your experiences or plans - and let us know if you are aware of an event ISW should list.

The index to the monthly lists is here.

Texas Instruments made (mostly) area CCDs using the virtual-phase architecture invented by Jerry Hynecek in their Central Research Lab. Some later devices, designated "Impactron" incorporated a high-voltage shift register that provided electron multiplication. TI made these devices until 2011 when their fab in Aizu-wakamatsu, Japan, was heavily damaged in an earthquake. The CCD line was never restarted.

You may notice that the archive includes a data sheet for the TIVICON silicon vidicon camera tube. Truly, TI made an imaging vacuum tube before it made solid-state sensors.  It was built for an Air Force forward-looking infrared (FLIR) system that flew over the jungles of Vietnam making thermal images of people among the trees. The silicon vidicon looked at a spinning line of infrared LEDs (another TI product) to produce a windshield-wiper-shaped image that was displayed on a video monitor. I ran the lab that tested these tubes and I wrote the data sheet included in the archive to start TI on commercial sales of the tubes. I was gone before TI introduced CCDs but my boss, Frank Skaggs, moved to that program.

We are pleased to introduce a new feature of the ISW blog, an archive of data sheets and other documents related to image sensor products. A recent survey of blog readers indicated that many of you would like access to a location where both historical and current data sheets, application notes, test data and other documents describing image sensors released to the market are available for download.  The new archive will provide this.

Image sensors have been made by over 200 companies since manufacturing began in the early 1970s and new ones appear almost every day now. I will attempt to both fill in the past and keep the archive current but catching up will take a while. Please comment if you have priorities you would like me to consider. Also comment if you have recollections that might interest the newer members of the image sensor community.

All of the documents will be stored on a Google Drive account with open access.  This means that documents that are export-controlled, mostly for thermal sensors, will not be included. To get to the Drive folders, you need only to click a company link on the blog post that comes up when you select "Image Sensor Documentation" from the list on the left of the blog front page.  Download whatever you like.

If you have anything you would like to contribute, send me an e-mail and we can make an arrangement. While we are interested in more than just data sheets, we can't post any company confidential information even if the company is out of the image sensor business or no longer exists.

As I add new companies to the archive, I will post announcements with a link to the company folder and a little background on the company.  Again, feel free to comment if you have something interesting to add. Note that the companies and their documents will be identified by the company name in use when each sensor was introduced.  Thus, companies like OnSemi may have products under other names going all the way back to Photobit or IMEC or Kodak.

The first company up is Texas Instruments, active 1978-2011, making virtual-phase and electron-multiplying sensors invented by Jerry Hynecek. The post with the link to the TI documents is here.

I am pleased to welcome Dave Gilblom as a new co-author on this blog! Dave is our semi-retired engineer and manager colleague with over 50 years’ experience in the imaging industry. Dave has kindly agreed to manage our newest initiative on the Image Sensors World blog --- industry job postings.

In the desktop view of the blog, these postings will appear in the left sidebar (just under the "Blog Authors"). In the mobile view you can navigate using the dropdown menu near the top of the page (where it says "Home").

We have put some rules in place for how to request a job posting on the blog. Requests can be submitted through a Google form or by contacting Dave directly by email with all the required information. No recruiters or job agencies, please. Thank you!

Image Sensors World (ISW) offers these listings as a service to the image sensor community.  They are selected entirely by ISW personnel based on relevance to our readers. ISW never receives compensation for these and makes no recommendations of any kind on the jobs or their sponsors. Each job will be posted for four weeks. Listings may be considered for renewal on request if unfilled.

If you have any ideas or feedback, please leave them in the comments below. We hope our blog readers will benefit from this new initiative!

One final point - while we expect listings for scientists, engineers and managers in industry, we also want requests from academia for faculty, post-doc and lab positions, from governments for program and research positions and from any other organization needing anyone with expertise in conceiving, designing, fabricating, testing or using image sensors.
