As development and manufacture of semiconductor devices are essential to sensor production, Canon has become a leader in this area. The ideal development and manufacturing system for high-performance CMOS sensors is one that starts from R&D and finishes at final production. It also should support such professionalism as the sharing of the latest industry findings. Our products and devices teams work together on research as well as development projects. Through this synergy of teamwork and varied expertise, Canon dramatically enhances CMOS sensor performance.
