Er CCD bildebrikker snart utkonkurrert av CMOS? Når skal CMOS

endelig bli kvitt ryktet som annenrangs teknologi?

"CCD sensors rely on specialized fabrication that requires dedicated—and costly—manufacturing processes. In contrast, CMOS image sensors can be made at standard manufacturing facilities that produce 90% of all semiconductor chips, from powerful microprocessors to RAM and ROM memory chips. This standardization results in economies of scale and leads to ongoing process-line improvements. CMOS processes, moreover, enable very large scale integration (VLSI), and this is used by our “active-pixel” architectures to incorporate all necessary camera functions onto one chip. Such integration creates a compact camera system that is more reliable and obviates the need for peripheral support chip packaging and assembly, further reducing cost. "
