Black silicon makes CMOS image sensors ultra-sensitive

How heise (and deti in our forum) have been reported, the American company SiOnyx discovered a material that is significantly photosensitive than conventional silicon from the current CCD and CMOS manufacturing. This new material will be more than one hundred times more sensitive and have a large spectral range covering the infrared to ultraviolet range. The "Black Silicon" is also in the normal CMOS manufacturing process used to what the company is a fast market adaptation hoped. Once we are already excited about Sony's new low-light technology, the HDR-XR500 Series wait, this might be a further milestone in the weak light videography are: Light sets you only have to accentuate with weak light. And outside you need centimeter thick ND filters;)  more infos at bei www.heise.de deutsche Version dieser Seite: Schwarzes Silizium macht CMOS-Bildwandler ultra-sensibel
