STMicroelectronics 56G812A1A Device Essentials Plus

ST’s 56G812A1A IR CMOS sensor from the iPhone 17 Pro Max is analyzed, detailing foundry identification and the sensor’s fabrication process.

The STMicroelectronics 56G812A1A CMOS image sensor (CIS) is designed for infrared (IR)cameras in smartphones, used in the Face ID camera system. The STMicroelectronics56G812A1A CIS was extracted from the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The analysis provides foundry identification and details of the fabrication process used to manufacture the image sensor and image signal processor, including TEM images and TEM-EDS, and TEM-EELS material analyses, SPM, and SIMS dopant analysis.
