So what's the point? Are you trying to say that Howard Rhodes used to work for Kodak, then for Micron and now he works for Omnivision developing pixels at TSMC?
ReplyDeleteBut what does it tell about Kodak? Does this mean that Kodak can deliver a very competitive consumer sensor now? Or it means that talented people leave Kodak to deliver products somewhere else?
Anyone know where Kodak is getting these latest small pixels fabbed?
ReplyDeleteSome time ago Kodak made an agreement with TSMC. So I believe it's TSMC.
ReplyDeleteThat's correct, TSMC is the foundry that fabricated the Kodak sensors. TSMC indeed was acknowledged at the end of the ISSCC presentation for their smooth cooperation.
