Short-wave IR sensor for automotive ADAS deliver high performance at low cost

TriEye released short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensor for the automotive ADAS and industrial markets using Tower Semiconductor's advanced BSI Germanium photo-diodes on silicon using a unique pixel-level electrical connection in a wafer stacking process allowing a monolithic CMOS based solution for sensing light in wavelength way beyond the capability of silicon. SWIR sensor delivers performance of a 1.3Mp 7um pixel array with excellent response across the SWIR spectrum. This Infrared based sensor solution provides clear view in bad visibility conditions and harsh driving conditions such as very low light, severe fog, dust, or smoke conditions. TriEye's comparatively inexpensive solution deliver high performance at low cost and is suitable for high volume markets such as automotive ADAS/ autonomous driving. “We have been working closely with TriEye over the past several years on the development of their innovative sensor. As always, it is exciting to see the successful results of this teamwork being realized into its market potential,” said Dr. Avi Strum, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Sensors and Displays Business Unit, Tower Semiconductor. “Collaborating with TriEye’s pioneering team of experts in the field of SWIR sensing solutions was an exceptionally fruitful process. We are confident that this advanced sensing solution with its market-leading features s...
