Abstract: The International Image Sensor Workshop is held every two years. It alternates between USA, Europe and Asia. In 2021 it was held as a virtual workshop. The main topic of the workshop is solid state image sensors, their design and application. More than 500 people attended the workshop last year. There were 86 papers, 52 regular papers, 32 posters and 2 invited talks. In this presentation we will highlight a few key papers, from the workshop, covering the most important image sensor developments during the last two years. These developments include pixel scaling, pixel level optics, global shutter image sensors, SPAD array sensors, high speed image sensors and low light image sensors.
Bio: Boyd Fowler joined OmniVision in December 2015 and is the CTO. Prior to joining OmniVision he was a founder and VP of Engineering at Pixel Devices where he focused on developing high performance CMOS image sensors. After Pixel Devices was acquired by Agilent Technologies, Dr. Fowler was responsible for advanced development of their commercial CMOS image sensors products. In 2005 Dr. Fowler joined Fairchild Imaging as the CTO and VP of technology, where he developed SCMOS image sensors for high performance scientific applications. After Fairchild Imaging was acquired by BAE Systems, Dr. Fowler was appointed the technology directory of the CCD/CMOS image sensor business. He has authored numerous technical papers, book chapters and patents. Dr. Fowler received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1990 and 1995 respectively.
