ProMOS Technologies announced today that it has signed a technology license agreement with Toppan Printing to manufacture CMOS image sensors utilizing Toppan Printing’s on-chip color filters and micro lens technologies. In addition to the technology license agreement, ProMOS and Toppan Printing will also extend the collaboration to a business partnership.
ProMOS indicated that it plans to manufacture the CMOS image sensors at its first 12-inch fab (Fab 2, Hsinchu). As this fab will soon become fully depreciated, the memory maker stressed that production at this fab should offer the company with advanced products on competitive costs, said company chairman and president ML Chen.
