New CIS Transistor Sharing Sensors: At the Vortex of InfoImaging 2007

On the precipice of changing market requirements in all future consumer capture devices, cameraphone, DSC, digital camcorders, home security, automotive and more importantly, the embedded space for human-to-machine/device interaction, the next mega opportunity for CIS and logic companies.

CIS providers are now utilizing brand-new process technologies and architectures that allow a more open photodiode (pixel well) by utilizing transistor sharing, detection amp sharing technologies, multi-sampling and dark current and reset noise abatement methods. As a result, a select few CIS vendors are now providing increased sensitivity, higher signal-to-noise output and higher dynamic range. These select providers have now established, for the first time, better over-all image quality than same scale CCD's for consumer devices. These new architectures allow smaller pixel sizes (1.4 to 1.75 micron) resulting in smaller form-factor sensors from the same dye without loss of sensitivity. This report details 20 applications that will be effected by these new sensor designs, provides WW unit, ASP and revenue forecasts out to 2010 and provides a SWOT analysis of those companies positioned with industry-changing architectures and process technologies. All data gathered by interviews and surveys.

What's Next for NAND? Coming to a Retailer Near You - Embedded Movies on NAND Flash, Memory for Multi-media Phones and Consumer Digital Devices, A 2007 - 2012 Forecast and Market Overview

What will be the next frontier for NAND beyond mobile devices five years from now? We believe it will be the delivery of movies and other digital content to digital and NAND capable televisions. By the end of 2008, a significant number of TVs sold in N.A. will be digital and NAND flash capable, to view digital content embedded on NAND. It’s a Hollywood-meets-Silicon Valley story where digital content is king and delivering it to household televisions will be the next NAND frontier. This report details Sandisk,Samsung, Micron and Intel’s future strategies to move into embedded music and movie content on flash memory and why it is an impairative move, to keep ASPs higher in a commoditized environment. Find out what's really behind recent drastic price reductions, Micron's alliance with Intel and industry fall-out from these pricing actions. This report also provides a market outlook and forecast by WW regions and dynamics of flash memory and their relationship to all current and future consumer digital devices - all data gathered by interviews and surveys.
