Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Xiao Zhan for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com June 13 news, according to Kuiheng reported that Sony due to the lack of production capacity in the back section of its image sensor, to TSMC's Caiyu to expand the order for color filter film. According to industry news, Sony will carry out wafer restructuring in neighboring areas after this purchase, and is expected to hand over the restructuring process to Tongxin Electronics, which has the largest local production capacity. Tongxin Electronics said it would not comment.

The supply chain said that as the new Apple iPhone (iPhone 15 series) will be fully upgraded to 4800 megapixel camera shots, demand will naturally increase significantly compared to the current high-end models such as the iPhone 14 Pro / iPhone 14 Pro Max. Coupled with the increase in sensor size, Sony's own production capacity is tight. As a result, Sony is interested in further expanding the back-end process to peripheral suppliers this year after handing over pixel layer orders to TSMC for the first time last year.

According to industry forecasts, as Sony's latest mobile phone sensor uses stackable technology, its structure has been upgraded from the previous two layers to three layers, requiring more complex manufacturing processes and processes, so Sony will adopt a "dual-track" strategy. While focusing on expanding the capacity of the previous stage, it is expected to expand its cooperation with TSMC to assist in the production of photodiodes and logic layers. Then hand over the back-end production capacity to Caiyu and Tongxin Electronics to complete.

CTOnews.com Note: Sony's latest mobile phone CMOS sensors mostly use stackable technology, which stacks photodiodes and amplifying circuits in structure, which has the advantage of effectively improving the sensitivity to light, signal-to-noise ratio and greatly reducing image noise.
