We have been designing full-custom image sensors for scientific applications since the 1990s. Initially focusing on space science, earth observation, and particle physics, our expertise now includes high-end sectors such as medical imaging and transmission electron microscopy.

Our goal is to extract the maximum scientific and economic impact from our research and development, resulting in our sensors being used in a wide range of applications. From industrial camera systems, through scientific instrumentation, to huge, one-of-a-kind international science facilities. This has also given us experience of working with a wide customer base, covering research groups, start-ups, multi-national companies, and international research collaborations.

To facilitate rapid, reduced risk development, we have a large portfolio of existing IP, which we adapt to fulfil our customers’ imaging specifications. We also use state-of-the-art design technologies, have strategic partnerships with leading foundries, and are certified to ISO 9001-2008. We cover all imaging modalities, but have a particular focus on high-speed, large-area devices.
