Selection will assist in the manufacture of airborne image sensors
Tower Semiconductor has announced that it was chosen by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to manufacture a CMOS image sensor for use in the development of its advanced MultiSpectral Polarimetric Imager (MSPI).
The device utilises an image sensor process at Tower's Fab1 facility.This design is JPL's fifth submission to Tower, dating back to April, 2001. The previous submissions totaled 28 different designs, with this latest design being the most challenging of the series fabricated for JPL by Tower.
"We are pleased to partner with the highly professional team at JPL, supporting this product's demanding specs," said Dr. Avi Strum, general manager of CIS and NVM product lines at Tower. "I trust that our long standing relationships will further evolve while we team up to challenge new frontiers in the areas at which JPL excels."
