Imec presented at this week’s “CMOS Image Sensors for High Performance Applications” workshop in Toulouse, France, a prototype of a high-performance, time-delay-integration (TDI) image sensor. The image sensor is based on imec’s proprietary embedded charge-coupled device (CCD) in CMOS technology. Imec developed and fabricated the sensor for the French Space Agency, CNES, which plans to utilize the technology for space-based earth observation. The prototype image sensor combines a light-sensit...
