TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, today announced its participation at VISION 2012 on November 6-8, 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany to further its relationships with current image sensor customers and make direct contact with potential new ones.
The conference focuses on machine vision image sensors, a specialized, very fast growing market where TowerJazz is the foundry of choice for many companies who develop high end sensors. Attendees of the show will be able to see demonstrations by TowerJazz customers with a variety of products solely manufactured at TowerJazz using its unrivaled CMOS image sensor process. Demonstrations will include: ON Semiconductor's VITA industrial image sensors, e2v Ruby sensors, the CMOSIS CMV family, the AnaFocus LINCE5M sensor, the Viimagic industrial sensor series, and the Truesense Imaging Inc. industrial CMOS sensor. Among TowerJazz's R&D partners in the show are: CSEM, Fraunhofer, and STFC.
TowerJazz is a leading provider of CMOS image sensor technology offering a wide range of pixel IP and an experienced R&D team that supports complex joint development projects. In particular, TowerJazz's 0.11um pixel design rule is released for early adopters' designs. First product samples of this new platform were already delivered.
"The industrial camera market is expected to grow steadily and to top $600M by 2016. Among the machine vision applications, intelligent traffic systems are experiencing very high growth and will significantly fuel the need for high performance CMOS image sensors in the future," says Paul Danini, Technology and Market Analyst, Imaging Technologies & MEMS Devices, Yole Developpement. "That trend is expected to positively impact CMOS image sensor sales of specialty foundries like TowerJazz."
"TowerJazz is the only foundry exhibiting at VISION and we aim to establish our technology leadership and reinforce our relationships with existing customers as well as showcase our unique CMOS image sensor technology to make our offering more familiar to the end user," said Dr. Avi Strum, VP and General Manager, CMOS Image Sensor Business Unit. "We are looking forward to participating at VISION to share our unique technology offering with attendees and connect with our image sensor partners to continue addressing our customers' growing needs."
TowerJazz will have sales, R&D, and marketing representatives present at VISION (booth I82) to provide up-to-date technical and business information and quick support.
