High Performance Silicon Imaging: Fundamentals and applications of CMOS and CCD sensors

Silicon imaging is one of the fastest growing segments of the semiconductor industry due to cell phone cameras and other digital-imaging applications. Emerging markets, including web cameras, security cameras, automotive cameras, digital-cinema cameras and gaming, are putting ever increasing demands on the performance of image sensors. These challenges include better image quality, higher sensitivity, higher data-transfer rate, higher system-level integration, lower power consumption, and 3D imaging. Part one covers the fundamentals of silicon-based image sensors and technical advances, focussing on performance issues. Part two looks at image sensors in applications such as mobile phones, scientific imaging, TV broadcasting, automotive and biomedical applications.
