Yahoo: Dongbu and its SETi subsidiary have completed development of a 1.3MP image sensor at the 110nm node. This is the first time that Dongbu openly mentions SETi, which became its majority-owned subsidiary in July 2007. The rumor is that the C.I. Sensor team formed the base of this new subsidiary (anybody can confirm?).
The SETi establishment marks a departure from pure play foundry business for Dongbu. Now Dongbu becomes closer to Magnachip - a foundry and an IDM combined. May be this is the reason that one Dongbu customer - Pixelplus went with Sharp, while another one - Siliconfile develops sensors for Hynix.
There is no word on pixel size, so one can guess there is nothing to be proud here. The PR only tells that the chip was developed in just 6 months.
