Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp. has claimed the first stacked CMOS image sensor technology with a 2-layer transistor pixel. The company’s proprietary technology separates photodiodes and pixel ...

A pioneer in digital imaging, Sony announced its first stacked CMOS sensors for full-frame cameras back in April 2017 on the flagship Sony A9 camera. A stacked CMOS sensor captures significantly more ...

Earlier today, Sony’s semiconductor division announced the development of the world’s first stacked CMOS imaging sensor with two layers of transistor pixels. This new design is significant because it ...

Sony has unveiled a new type of stacked CMOS sensor that uses "two-layer transistor pixels" to double the light gathering capability. Typical image sensors have the light-sensitive photodiodes and ...

Additionally, since the amp transistor size can be increased with this tech, noise during dark scenarios is also reduced. Last but not least, Sony states that its stacked CMOS image sensor technology ...
