Toshiba have announced that they are to mass produce camera phone CMOS sensors that can capture images at 14.6 megapixels. The new sensors will measure 1/2.3 inches and manufacturing will start in the 3rd quarter of 2010. To build the new camera sensors Toshiba will process them at 65nm on to 300mm wafers with a production rate of about half a million per month. The new CMOS sensors use a process called back-side illumination that switches the photodiodes around with the multi layer wiring b
