In a wide range of industrial applications, utilization of image sensors exceeding human eyes are becoming more popular recently. One such example is the sensing of UV/ultraviolet wavelengths, outside the spectrum of visible light. IMX487 is an image sensor with UV imaging capability while its Pregius S™ technology facilitates the global shutter function and high speed operation. It is adaptable to a wide range of use cases such as, apart from the typical semiconductor pattern inspection, material sorting at a recycling plant, inspection of micro-defects on product surfaces, and infrastructure inspections as well as in life science. Features Equipped with global shutter capable of high-speed and undistorted photography With the structure specially designed for the properties of the UV wavelengths coupled with Pregius S technology, the image sensor can capture undistorted images of moving objects within a UV range of 200–400 nm and at a high frame rate of 193 fps (operated in the 10-bit mode). This image sensor has a potential to expand the scope of application from the conventional use of UV cameras in the inspection of semiconductors, etc. to areas that require high-speed capability, such as sorting of recycled materials. Achieving high-resolution and low-noise photography This image sensor has adopted the component materials dedicated for UV range imaging, and a special structure has been developed for its light receiving area. These make it possible to maintain high UV sensitivity while significantly minimizing noises to produce high quality images.
