Autosens publishes an interview with ESPROS CEO Beat De Coi. Few quotes:
Q: Why did you decide to buck the trend in semiconductors to have your own foundry?
A: Simply there was or is no silicon CMOS technology available which offered high Quantum Efficiency in NIR in combination with high performance CCD. Our backside illumination technology OHC15L offers what is needed for powerful LiDAR, TOF and in general ultrafast gated imagers.
Q: Your session on time-of-flight sensors is about next generation technology – what’s different about it from existing ToF?
A: - Quantum Efficiency is greater than 75% @905nm
- active ambient light suppression
- single pulse operation vs. continuous light modulation in previous generation systems
Q: What is the timescale of this technology coming to the market?
A: Early 2018
