ProMOS-Cypress Near CIS Mass Production

Digitimes: Len Mei, executive VP at ProMOS has said image sensors volume production should be ready during late 2007. Progress on CMOS image sensor development is good and ProMOS is optimistic about the role of DRAM makers in this segment in the future. Mei said volume production of the image sensors will start at ProMOS' 12" fab in Hsinchu, Taiwan, at the 0.13um node.

The upcoming image sensor, named NPS, is targeted for digital camera applications, Mei said. An earlier Chinese-language Commercial Times report cited ProMOS as saying that high-end sensors will be fabricated at a 12" fab in Taiwan, whereas low-end models will be fabricated at the ProMOS' new 8" fab in China at 0.18um.
