• WHAT WE GOT RIGHT, WHAT WE GOT WRONG
Over the years Yole Développement has kept consistent forecast
Looking back at previous forecast exercises, Yole Développement has slightly undervalued global CIS market.
The same markets have been researched over time, some new applications such as tablets have impacted the growth.
We have achieved our goal of +/-
10% forecast

4TH CMOS IMAGE SENSOR REPORT
• When Yole Développement presented its first report in 2010, the imaging industry was at a turning point as CMOSimage sensor revenues were breaking the 50% threshold in respect to CCD.
• Since this first report, Yole documented the rise of a new CIS technology called BSI. In 2015, the 50% revenuethreshold is also broken for BSI technology.
• Mobile and tablets are currently the key applications for CIS, they are demanding in term of volume andperformances therefore keeping price at a good level for the top notch technology. The industry has reached $8.9Bin 2014 and with 10.6% CAGR forecasted for the 2014-2020 period, it will reach $16.2B in 2020.
• Currently the most dynamic CIS market is automotive. New features and performance are needed to serve this newmarket. Are we shifting from vision for imaging to vision for sensing ? One thing is certain, every one in the industryis working on it.
Every thing is changing

CMOS IMAGE SENSOR APPLICATIONS
Mobile is currently driving CIS markets
Today smartphone main camera
and DSLR are the 2 main CIS
applications
• Smartphone secondary camera adoption made Mobile sub-segment very significant. It should take an even greater importance in the future as their ASP increase.
• Tablets appear to be part of computing, even tough the technology came from Mobile

OIS is the new
key feature
of smartphone
cameras
• Some players have switched to 1.1µm pixels to increase resolution, Apple increased pixel size to 1.5µm in order to improve image quality.
• There is little reduction in camera module height as most manufacturers want to increase resolution in the same time.

CMOS IMAGE SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
Back side illumination (BSI) is an incremental technology in respect to FSI
• Back side illuminated (BSI) sensors were initially introduced for smart phones. They asked for higher resolution withsame camera module footprint (leading to pixel shrink race) than the pre-existing mobile “feature phones” that hadconventional Front Side Illuminated (FSI) sensors.
• BSI transition is not a disruption like the CCD to CMOS transition. As an incremental improvement over FSI it is nosurprise that a key industry player like Omnivision and Sony were instrumental in bringing this technology to market.The iPhone 4 launch in 2010 was the key turning point for massive BSI adoption.
• BSI technology is now following the same path as basic FSI CIS. As performance improvements get valorised in higherend markets, we can easily forecast a brilliant future of BSI in most market segments.
BSI also started in low end
markets and is moving up

• The key technology step for 3D stack BSI is the interconnection of the upper and lower part of the circuit.
• Currently TSV is the main technology to connect 3D stacked wafers.
• Cu-Cu hybrid bonding should be the next step
• Hybrid bonding could open the way to in pixel connections
