11 Setembro 2023 - 7:00AM
Based on Tower’s advanced 65nm Stacked
BSI CIS platform with hybrid bonding for advanced ToF
(Time-of-Flight) and Global Shutter sensors
Providing state-of-the-art imaging
solutions addressing the consumer, industrial and automotive market
needs
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, and
SHENZHEN, China Sept.
11, 2023 – Tower Semiconductor
(NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), the leader in high-value analog semiconductor
foundry solutions, and Fortsense, a leader in LiDAR SPAD technology
solutions and ICs, today announced the successful development of an
advanced 3D imager for LiDAR application based on dToF technology.
The newly developed product, FL6031, is based on Tower’s 65nm
Stacked BSI CIS platform with pixel level hybrid bonding and is the
first in a series of products designed to address the needs of
numerous depth sensing applications in the automotive, consumer,
and industrial markets among others. According to Yole Group, the
3D imaging, sensors, and systems market is expected to grow at 13%
CAGR reaching a $17B by 2028.
Tower’s advanced 65nm Stacked BSI CIS platform
with its unique pixel level hybrid bonding between a SPAD (Single
Photon Avalanche Diode) array and high performing logic enables
strategic advantages including high-speed in-chip data processing
and small die size which are both essential for high resolution
dToF (direct Time-of-Flight) sensors. These features, combined with
Tower’s extensive capabilities in pixel design and customization,
enable the development of Fortsense’ new product series targeting
applications that require adequate distance measurement and depth
mapping for fast camera auto focus, 3D scanning, and LiDAR.
“We have chosen Tower as our strategic partner
for the development of our 3D imager dToF products based on its
versatile and proficient CIS platform offering,” said Michael Mo,
Fortsense CEO. “The collaborative work of expert teams from both
companies, combined with Tower’s vast experience in the field of
imaging, yielded several successful developments over the past
years. We are excited to extend our collaboration and bring to
market new, advanced 3D sensing solutions that address the growing
needs of strategic markets.”
“The collaboration with Fortsense on the
development of an optimized 3D imager based on dToF sensor
technology is a statement of both parties commitment to drive
innovation and deliver exceptional sensors to the 3D imaging
market,“ said Dr. Avi Strum, Senior Vice President and General
Manager of Sensors and Displays Business Unit, Tower Semiconductor.
“We look forward to continuing our joint efforts in the development
of additional products in this series, delivering advanced
solutions driving mutual growth and success.”
