Sony develops 'world's first stacked CMOS image sensor technology with 2-Layer Transistor Pixels'

Sony Smiconductor Solutions Corporation (Sony) has announced it's developed 'the world's first stacked CMOS image sensor technology with 2-Layer Transistor Pixel.' This new technology separates the photodiodes from the pixel transistors onto different substrate layers, which nearly doubles the amount of light a single pixel can capture compared to more conventional image sensors. Sony says its proprietary '2-Layer Transistor Pixel' technology splits the photodiodes (which convert photons to elec...
