Lower cost custom CMOS image sensors

12 Nov 2025

SI Sensors is a company that specialises in designing and producing high performance CMOS image sensors optimised to a customers' requirements.

Drawing upon a team of specialists with a broad range of experience in CMOS image sensor design and close ties with fabrication foundries – SI Sensors can reduce the price entry barrier for prototyping and smaller volume production.

With expertise spanning a wide range of imaging technologies (visible, non-visible, ultra-fast burst mode), optimised light detection, charge transfer, and radiation-hard sensor design – SI Sensors is building a reputation for creating custom CMOS image sensor designs with cutting edge performance on a budget.

General Manager of SI Sensors – Phil Brown commented “Our aim is always to achieve the best balance between image sensor performance and cost for every customer. We use our extensive in-house IP and design experience together with the latest software tools to design novel image sensors using the most appropriate foundry technologies globally.”

Using inhouse experience and knowledge – SI Sensors can rapidly develop application-optimised CMOS image sensor packages that include custom electrical, mechanical, optical and thermal interface solutions. To ensure top performance plus consistent high quality and reliability – SI Sensors perform detailed electro-optical testing from characterisation through to mass production testing adhering to industry standards such as EMVA 1288 and ESCC 9020.

SI Sensors is a division of Specialised Imaging, focused on innovative CMOS image sensor design and development. The full-service CMOS image sensor design offered by the company includes circuit design, pixel optimisation, simulation, layout, verification, and tape-out.
