Custom ROIC Design 

Xenics can design ROICs for InGaAs, QWIP, MCT, Bolometer, hybrid visible sensors or even for new technologies. One of our core competences is our ability to design complex high-performance analog and digital full-custom CMOS integrated circuits. This capability offers major advantages to our customers in applications where state-of-the-art designs are needed. It helps our customers to gain market share over the competition that is using standard components. Examples can be found in industrial automation, in aerospace and aviation systems, in automotive applications, in (bio)-medical instrumentation, telecommunication, fiber optic sensing, or for consumer products.

Full-custom designs can be used for applications that require low noise, low dark current, or low power operation; high speed; short or long exposure times; complex windowing capability; specific pixel layouts; chip dimensions adapted to overall system requirements; integration of analog to digital conversion and more complex signal treatment. They are typically reflecting the ultimate performance level for a specific application, while keeping interfaces simple and recurring production costs low.

Xenics has experience in a wide range of technologies and system applications but particularly in the field of infrared vision sensors. Our experience includes designs for high-performance, one-dimensional and two-dimensional, cooled as well as uncooled sensors. We can offer solutions in both small (160 x 120) and extreme large-format (1k x 1k), with pixel sizes as big as 100*100 um2 or as small as 12*12 um2.
