Mems/cmos Integration & Image Sensors

As the Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology pushes towards realizing electronic system-on-a-chip, it becomes apparent that there is a need for incorporating the interface between electronics and the external physical world. These interfaces or transducers take physical parameters such as light intensity, pressure and temperature and turn them into electrical signals which can be acted on in the electronic domain of the ASIC’s. This sessions deals with 2 emerging areas of Micro-Electronical-Mechanical systems (MEMS) and image sensors where integration with CMOS ASlC are being pursued.
