SMIC announces a breakthrough in the development of back-illumination CMOS sensors

Sina Science and technology News http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/17197.html "> Beijing time December 20 evening message, SMIC (NYSE:SMI) announced today, The company has made a breakthrough in the development of the backlight CMOS image sensor, the first Test chip can achieve good image effect even in the weak light environment.
　　
This backlight processing technology for SMIC independently developed, will be provided to high-end mobile phone camera. SMIC will be working with partners to produce this chip in 2013. SMIC's success in backlight processing technology will expand the company's CMOS image sensor product line, including 5 million or higher pixel mobile phone cameras, as well as high-performance video cameras.
　　
Compared to the CMOS image sensor, the backlight sensor has a higher photosensitive nature, which helps the smartphone to shoot brighter and clearer pictures in the dark or indoors. While pushing the production of the back-illumination CMOS image sensor, SMIC will soon begin developing the next generation CMOS image sensor technology based on 3D integrated circuits.
