e2v has significantly increased the production rate of its dental x-ray sensors incorporating CMOS image sensor technology provided by TowerJazz, the company announced.
e2v has been progressively increasing production over the past year using TowerJazz's advanced Fab2 to match demand for these advanced sensor solutions. The dental x-ray sensor market, which is moving from film to digital and from CCD to CMOS technology, was worth $30 million in 2009 and is expected to increase by 10% to 15% per year, according to e2v.
"We are pleased to have TowerJazz as our manufacturing partner as we increase production volumes of our dental sensor products," said Francois Thouret, divisional director for e2v's imaging solutions business, in the release. "Their 0.18-micron CMOS image sensor technology is a key enabler in providing excellent stitching performance, high yields, and a rich IP [intellectual property] portfolio."
