Silina launches curved CMOS sensors that can be made on industrial scale 07 May 2021 Curved designs mean simpler optical systems â like eyes with single lens; claimed to be ânext major innovationâ in imaging. The great curve: Silinaâs technology offers benefits to imaging sector.Silina, a deeptech startup in microelectronics, based in Paris, France, is offering what it calls âa paradigm shiftâ to the imaging industry by curving the imaging sensors. Curved sensor technology has been in development for many years but has been limited to single-chip manufacturing processes â until now. Silina's approach, which enables the curving of hundreds of imaging sensors at the same time, is offering new perspectives in the design of cameras, from high volume to niche markets, states the company.
