Sony's SWIR Image Sensors Capturing Images Across Both the Visible and Invisible Light Spectrums

Sony's SWIR Image Sensors Capturing Images Across Both the Visible and Invisible Light Spectrums

Enterprise & IT May 12,2020 0

Sony Corp. announced the upcoming release of two new models of short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) image sensors for industrial equipment.

The new sensors are capable of capturing images in the visible and invisible light spectrum in the short-wavelength infrared range and boast a compact size made possible by the industry's smallest 5μm pixel size.

The new products employ Sony's original SenSWIR technology, in which photodiodes are formed on an indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) compound semiconductor layer and are connected via Cu-Cu connection with the silicon (Si) layer which forms the readout circuit — a design which enables high-sensitivity over a broad range of wavelengths. This breakthrough yields a SWIR image sensor that is compact yet capable of delivering seamless image capture over a broad range of wavelengths covering from the visible to invisible light spectrum in the short-wavelength infrared range (wavelength: 0.4μm to 1.7μm).

Employing these products enables sensing even in wavelengths not visible to the human eye, making possible the development of cameras and testing equipment for various applications and contributing to the development of diversifying industrial equipment.
