The Art of CMOS Stitching: Challenges and Solutions

CMOS stitching is a specialized technique in semiconductor manufacturing that allows the creation of large sensors and chips by "stitching" together smaller sections of a chip design. This method is essential in fields like medical imaging and industrial cameras, where larger CMOS sensors are needed.  However, much like sewing, achieving a flawless integration of these sections requires extreme precision. In the following text, a Project Manager and an Integrated Circuit Layout Design Engineer from ISDI Sensors R&D Austria delve into the various challenges associated with CMOS stitching. They highlight why this technique remains essential despite its inherent complexity.

In conversation with Mattia Del Conte about his radiography of Ischiopsopha bifasciata

In conversation with Mattia Del Conte about his radiography of Ischiopsopha Bifasciata.  “My thesis project focuses on the characterization of X-Ray detectors in collaboration with ISDI Ltd. As part of my stage project, I conducted a radiography examination of an Ischiopsopha Bifasciata specimen, which was provided by the 4life project at Casa delle Farfalle di Bordano in Italy. The images were acquired at the OptImaToLab hosted at Elettra synchrotron with an Excillum Liquid metaljet source set at 70kV using the Spectrum Logic 1412HR 50μm-pixel CMOS flat panel detector  in a propagation-based configuration[1]. The specimen measured 2cm x 4cm in size.”.

ISDI Case Study. Developing a NIR custom sensor for non-invasive glucose monitoring using Raman spectroscopy

ISDI were approached by RSP Systems to undertake a custom design for a near-infrared (NIR) sensor for their Touch Glucose Monitoring™ products. This sensor, initially targeted for a small desktop system, will be used in a smartwatch-style device for non-invasive blood analysis based on Raman spectroscopy, eliminating the need to take frequent blood readings via finger-prick tests or patches.

Western Blotting 1:1 Imaging - from sensor to blot imager. ISDI offers various product development routes

The IS1510 CMOS image sensor has been used to design the Spectrum Logic CL1510 1:1 Western Blot Imager - a novel scanner for faster, more accurate results.

Western blotting (also known as immunoblotting) is an established biochemical procedure that identifies particular proteins in complex samples and has applications from straight-forward research to the analysis and diagnosis of infectious diseases. Western blotting can be utilised to decide molecular weight, amount and post-translational adjustments of proteins and can subsequently be an effective device to screen changes in proteins, including expression and modifications.
