This report presents a device essentials folder (DEF) of the Sony IMX989 1”, 50 MP, 1.6 μm pixel pitch CMOS image sensor, extracted from the Xiaomi 12S Ultra wide-angle camera.
The DEF includes observed device metrics and salient features supported by the following unannotated image folders:

• Downstream product teardown
• Package X-rays, die photograph, non-invasive optical photos of die features
• SEM images of the pixel array delayered to the metal, transistor, and diffusion levels
• Exploratory cross-section SEM imaging of the general pixel array and peripheral structures

This deliverable provides basic competitive benchmarking information and enables cost-effective tracking of multiple competitors’ technology.
