Viscera Technologies, a subsidiary of TSMC, has announced further advances in sensor technology for cameras. By applying nanopillars to the camera sensor, the company was able to improve light output, particularly for blue and green wavelengths.
Nanopillars in camera sensors
This development is intended to significantly reduce image noise. This is a problem that often occurs with digital camera sensors. Key to innovation Small nanopillars, which directs the light specifically to the corresponding subpixels and thus ensures a more efficient use of light. This technology should provide relief in this area, especially with high-resolution sensors with small pixel areas.
Significant improvement in the blue color spectrum
with a sensor with 0.8 µm pixels Polymer and titanium oxide columns are used, which are produced by lithography and etching processes. Compared to conventional image sensors with microlenses, the light output is increased up to 40 percent Up to 16 percent in the blue and green color spectrum. For red, however, the improvements were significantly smaller.
Apple iPhone 15
The iPhone 15 series is Apple’s latest generation of smartphones. The iPhone 15 is powered by an Apple A16 processor paired with a 6.1-inch display with dynamic island.
There is no market launch information
An exact schedule for the market launch or specific information about production costs are not yet known. However, Viscera Technologies insists that production should be “economical”. See the company Great potential for this technology and hypothesized that nanopillars could replace conventional sensors with microlenses. So we might be interested to see how the whole thing develops over the next few years.
