    Report Overview

    Summary
    Wafer manufacturing involves the use of various semiconductor equipment that can be categorized into more than ten types, such as photolithography machines, etching equipment, and thin-film deposition equipment (PVD/CVD/ALD). These categories can be further divided based on different working principles or processed materials. The production of these machines involves the integration of diverse scientific techniques, including optics, physics, and chemistry, posing high technical barriers and manufacturing difficulties. These machines are also characterized by their significant worth and high investment in research and development.

    Chinese companies engaged in the development of wafer manufacturing equipment mainly include NAURA Tech., Advanced Micro, SMEE, Piotech, Hwatsing Tech., etc. This report primarily discusses the development of China’s semiconductor industry, emphasizing key equipment used in thin-film deposition, etching, and photolithography.

    [Selected Topics] Development of Image Signal Processors and Computational Photography and Progress in Overcoming Physical Limitations of Smartphone Cameras

    2023/08/30

    Today, using smartphones to take photos has become a popular way for people to record and share everyday memories. Camera performance has also become an important factor for consumers when deciding to purchase a new smartphone. However, unlike traditional digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs), smartphones are designed to be lightweight and slim. Therefore, adopting a larger CMOS image sensor (CIS) or a heavier lens assembly to improve photoshoot is not practical. To overcome this physical limitation, advanced image signal processors (ISPs) and innovative computational photography algorithms are used to significantly enhance the imaging quality of smartphone cameras. These solutions can effectively compensate for the shortcoming of not being able to incorporate larger optical components into a smartphone camera.
