ESPROS Photonics AG

ESPROS Photonics is a leader in design and manufacturing of innovative 3D time-of-flight imaging semiconductors and modules for the industrial, automotive, healthcare and consumer markets. Our technology leadership is the result of a unique combination of high performance CCD imaging, complex CMOS circuitry and cost efficient packaging. We provide best in class solutions for complex low light, high speed and hyper-spectral imaging applications operating in the UV, VIS and NIR wave lengths of the light spectrum.

"The production of photonics chips with superior characteristics need specific processes and technologies that are different from standard CMOS. Thus, normal CMOS fabs do not control these technologies. They are optimized to CMOS only. On the other hand, manufacturers of excellent CCD and CMOS camera chips are focused on the mass consumer markets and do not like to fulfill customer specific requirements, especially when it comes to integrated image and signal processing. Therefore, sourcing of integrated photonics chips with superior optical characteristics is almost impossible. ESPROS' unique Photonic CMOS Process Technology is the answer to this dilemma."

Espros Photonics AG is a privately owned company. It was founded in 2006 by Beat De Coi.

Today, Espros Photonics is a fully developed IC design and manufacturing company with more than 50 employees working in our Swiss headquarter. Additionally, we operate a dedicated design center in China with >10 highly qualified IC design specialists and a sales office in Minneapolis USA.
