DALSA 111 Megapixel CCD Sensor

Getting to the 10 megapixel mark was a big deal to many consumers and companies alike, but it has been greatly overshadowed by DALSA Corp. They are the first company to break the 100 megapixel barrier, with a new CCS sensor that offers 111.5 megapixels in a sensor around 4 inches on each side.

The chip was made for the Astrometry Department of the U.S. Naval Observatory. The device will assist USNO in the determination of the positions and motions of stars, solar system objects and the establishment of celestial reference frames.

“As with past custom image sensor projects, I’m very satisfied with the versatility and capability of DALSA Semiconductor’s foundry to collaborate on new process enhancements and to manufacture challenging custom CCD image sensor products such as this,” commented STA President, Richard Bredthauer.

“I’m very pleased that we were able to deliver, ahead of schedule, this custom CCD image sensor to our long time DALSA foundry customer, STA,” added Ralf Brooks, President of DALSA Semiconductor. “Completing this challenging, yet successful, project once again illustrates our strong process technology portfolio and our ability to work closely with our customers to create truly unique products.”
