Electronic circuits form a mostly invisible part of the world we live in today. These circuits are present in microchips or just “chips”, which combine the latest advances in performance, intelligence and, efficiency. Hundreds or thousands of these chips are integrated into each of the millions and billions of electronic devices people across the globe interact with every day. It is in this unseen realm that STMicroelectronics creates the sparks that animate the products we use at any given moment. Our technology is found everywhere microelectronics makes a positive contribution to people’s lives. Chips from ST embedding the most advanced innovations are an essential part of products as diverse as cars and key fobs, giant factory machines and data center power supplies, washing machines and hard disks, and smartphones and toothbrushes. We help our customers make these devices more intelligent, more energy efficient, more connected, safer and more secure.
Semiconductor business at Sony began in 1954 with the commercialization of Japan’s first transistor. Since then, we have continued to contribute in original Sony product development and market creation. In image sensors, Sony commercialized the world’s first CCD color camera in 1980 and many other successful products over the years. From 2004 we began to focus on CMOS image sensors with low power consumption and fast readout. Commercialization of the world’s first back-illuminated CMOS image sensor in 2009 was followed by the world’s first stacked CMOS image sensor in 2012. These developments occurred as the smartphone market was growing, and even today, we continue to lead the industry in image sensors.
Leading company in image sensors
Device business by the Sony Semiconductor Solutions Group is focused on image sensors, and includes a variety of other parts including microdisplays, LSIs, and laser diodes. In image sensors, where we command the top share of the global market, mobile applications are central, with growth expected in new areas such as automotive cameras, security cameras, and factory automation. One use of image sensors is in viewing applications for conventional digital cameras or mobile devices, where they make devices more convenient or enjoyable for individual users. Another use is in recognition, where they bring greater convenience, safety, and security to society. We have positioned this use in sensing as our next pillar of growth, and our long-term vision calls on us to fulfill essential roles in society as a leader in this field. To date, the Sony Semiconductor Solutions Group has created new markets for image sensors through innovation, and looking ahead, we will continue to take on challenges for further growth.
