Image Sensors 2012 Agenda Finalized

Business Wire: Image Sensors 2012 conference, formerly known as Image Sensors Europe, has officially announced its agenda. It mostly follows the unofficial version presented earlier, with most notable exceptions being the omission of presentations by Eiichi Funatsu, Senior Manager, Sensor Division, Sony and by Koichi Mizobuchi, Deputy General Manager, Imaging Technology Development, Olympus.

Still, the agenda remains pretty impressive, complemented by two workshops:

Sensors Architectures for 3D Time-of-Flight Imaging
by David Stoppa, Lucio Pancheri, Matteo Perenzoni
Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy

Workshop content:

• General introduction about 3D Imaging Technologies, applications and history
• ToF 3D Imaging measurement principle and systems
• Sensors based on in-pixel photo-demodulating devices with a real case study example
• Sensors based on extensive use of electronics in the pixel with a real case study example
• Figure of merits of ToF image sensors

Advanced Solid-State Imaging - Understanding and Improving Light Sensitivity
by Albert Theuwissen
Harvest Imaging, Belgium

Workshop content:

• Explaining and understanding the limitations of light sensitivity
• Cross-talk: spectral, optical, electrical
• Improving light sensitivity
• Micro-lenses
• Amorphous top-layers
• Light guides
• Back-side illumination
• Binning
• Electron Multiplication

The conference is to be held in London, UK on March 20-22, 2012.
