TSMC’s most advanced CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) technology has led to stacked CIS devices with special options, such as advanced image signal processor (ISP), near infrared (NIR) enhancement, and high-density capacitors. This cutting-edge CIS technology provides smarter, higher resolution IoT products with better high dynamic range (HDR) performance and lower power consumption.

Smart CIS-driven IoT applications are everywhere:

• Smart doorbell, that’s part of a wireless home security system, allows homeowners to interact with visitors from anywhere using the Internet
• Baby and pet monitor cameras now connect to smartphones. They feature include full-color night vision, watch dog mode with instance response, and event trigger recording
• Interactive home assistances and home virtual reality (VR) trainer devices incorporate one or more CIS
• New CIS technology with improved NIR capability empowers emerging applications, such as smart locks and gate controls with 2D/3D facial recognition
