Mission

C-Cam Technologies wishes to grow to become an important player in the vision industry as a supplier of advanced CMOS-based cameras. The basis of this growth lies in the ability and the commitment of our people to successfully design, manufacture and support cameras that will allow our customers to build superior and innovative vision systems.

Fuga technology started within IMEC, the Interuniversity Micro-Electronics Centre in Leuven, Belgium.

With almost 1 000 people, IMEC is Europe's biggest non-profit microelectronic research institute, performing fundamental research in :

• New design methodologies for monolithic and multi chip systems.
• New processing technologies for the next generation of VLSI chips, sensors and opto-electronic components.

In the late 80's IMEC started the first experiments with CMOS image sensors. At that time they had already a lot of experience in designing CCD image sensors.

The technology was born in the early 90's. Some years later C-Cam Technologies was started as a first imaging spin-off company of IMEC with the aim to commercialise the Active Pixel Sensors.

Vector International acquired C-Cam Technologies and is continuing to invest in and expand the range of available commercial products.
 

Today Vector International designs, produces and markets CMOS cameras and image sensors based on IMEC's IBIS technology, manufactured by FillFactory. We offer :

• A standard family of IBIS image sensors (matrix, line and even a circular one
• Ibis cameras.
• Custom design sensors.
• Custom design cameras and camera heads

For custom design sensors there are two possibilities :

1) Direct development of the masks for a custom sensor and the processing of two full wafers.

2) MPW or Multi Project Wafer, where Vector International can reserve space on a wafer to process just a few prototype sensors.

 a Multi Project Wafer.
