X-FAB and PMDTec are continuing their successful partnership focusing on the development of next-generation PMD-based solutions The integration of PMD in X-FAB’s 0.18µm technology will enable sophisticated system-on-chip (SoC) integration – and open the door to new features for PMDTec’s 3D imagers.

“We are very excited about new opportunities using X-FAB’s leading-edge CMOS technology. We can rely on the proven expertise of X-FAB’s CMOS process specialists, combined with our experience in PMD device optimization,” says Dr. Holger Kraft, Vice Director of Technical Development and Process Technology at PMDTec. “As the demand for PMD imagers is increasing at great speed, this next step in our technology roadmap will help us grow,” adds CEO Dr. Bernd Buxbaum. The first chips to deploy 0.18µm technology are expected later this year.
