Solid-state image sensors for low-cost TV cameras

Abstract

Currently, there is a growing interest in the development of low-cost solid-state color TV cameras. Design approaches and tradeoffs for the key element - solid-state image sensors-will be assessed. Topics will include performance, advances in the IC processing technology leading to the fabrication of the sensors with a satisfactory cosmetic quality and at reasonable cost, and the advantages of different types of color-filter techniques.
