Sharp NC9610 1.75 µm CCD - Imager Process Review Report
CCD image sensors have been steadily losing overall market-share to CMOS image sensors (CIS), whose early success in cell-phone cameras is now also turning into socket wins in the digital still camera market.
CCD manufacturers are fighting back by introducing image sensors designed to compete directly with the CIS. One of the leading devices is the Sharp NC9610 which contains the smallest CCD pixel seen to date. At 1.75 µm it competes µm-for-µm with the pixel-shrink leaders in the CIS space.
This CCD was announced earlier in 2007 and has already had a prominent design win. Get inside the process and structure of this advanced CCD from Sharp with the Chipworks Imager Process Review.
