Sony Semiconductor Solutions Unveils High-Resolution SWIR Image Sensors
Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SSS) has unveiled the IMX992 short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) image sensor for industrial applications, boasting the industry’s highest pixel count at 5.32 effective megapixels. Utilizing SSS’s proprietary Cu-Cu connection, it achieves the smallest pixel size among SWIR sensors at 3.45 μm. The sensor’s optimized pixel structure facilitates high-definition imaging across a spectrum from visible to short-wavelength infrared regions. The IMX992 introduces new shooting modes for reduced noise in low-light conditions compared to conventional products.
Additionally, SSS will release the IMX993 with similar features. These SWIR sensors respond to the increasing demand in industrial equipment for seamless wide-spectrum imaging, catering to processes like semiconductor wafer bonding, defect inspection, and quality control in food production. The sensors offer higher resolution through pixel miniaturization and improved performance in low-light environments, contributing to enhanced precision in inspections and monitoring applications, ultimately boosting industrial productivity.
