Here used to be a link to the presentations from the recent Intertech-Pira Image Sensors 2009 conference (San Diego Oct. 13-16). A lot of interesting stuff!
[Update: The links have been removed at request from the originator. This link was supposed to be only for attendees of the conference, not for the general public.]
On the technical side, Don Scansen shows Chipworks reverse engineering picture of Omnivision BSI packaging scheme:
There is one more Chipworks BSI sensor picture, apparently of Sony ClearVid camcorder sensor:
Don also presents many other observations, some of them quite paradoxical. One of the graphs shows that Microsoft has filed about 10 patent applications on BSI technology. Personally, I have not seen any of them.
Another interesting presentation comes from DxO Labs on camera module self calibration. It presents very nice features but no word is said about the price to implement them in silicon - an important omission. Also, Gr/Gb imbalance section excessively downplays the alternative approaches to the problem.
On the marketing side, there is an interesting presentation by Sanyo on digital camera market, product trends and adoption rates. Toshiba presentation mainly talks about the market consolidation trend. The Strategies Unlimited presentation disappointed me a bit, as its many data labels from the charts are removed - looks like a teaser for the paid reports.
