Camera phones are ubiquitous these days, but many have yet to match the image quality even of very affordable compact cameras. New sensor technology from Sony Corp. aims to improve the situation. Compared to existing backside illuminated CMOS image sensors, the newly-announced design moves more circuitry beneath the active pixels, replacing the supporting substrate in the process. This reduces the overall pixel size for a given photodiode area, which yields to potential benefits. If you simply retain the same photodiode size, you can pack in more pixels for a given chip size, or reduce... (read more)
