The Perseverance rover contains 19 cameras, including seven scientific instruments. It will analyse the climate and geology of Mars, looking for signs of past life, as well as monitoring the Martian atmosphere
Lynred sees 3D stacking technology as key to enabling superior designs in future infrared detectors
Newsight's NSI3000 line sensor and NSI1000 area sensor have successfully passed Jinoid's evaluation, and the first batch of a thousand chips has been provided and assembled
The sensors boast a pixel pitch of 5μm thanks to Sony's stacking technology using a copper-to-copper connection. They also deliver high quantum efficiency even in the visible range
