Image Sensor Solutions
Profile
DALSA has always been an industry leader in advanced image sensor solutions. With a focus on high-resolution, high-performance CCD and CMOS sensors, we established a reputation for the industry's highest image quality and performance. We own scores of patents for the design of CCD and CMOS image sensors and specialized techniques for fabricating and assembling them. Our products continue to dominate the professional digital studio photography arena and we have set the agenda for the professional digital still camera industry for years. Our high resolution, high speed line scan imagers deliver industry-leading performance, and we are the acknowledged leader in TDI (Time Delay and Integration) line scan, where our our products are critical to the success of our semiconductor inspection customers.
With expertise in multiple imager technologies, DALSA is not locked to a single solution. Our large-imager CCD technology is world-renowned, and recent advances in our CMOS technology have allowed us to deliver wafer-scale CMOS imagers for X-ray applications, including a full-field radiography detector module with six wafer-scale CMOS tiles butted together.
Leading technology, sound business strategies, and careful attention to our customers' needs have brought us success, and we intend to continue it. We have superior designs, a secure foundry, solid backing and the vision to continue our leadership role.
DALSA Corporation
DALSA was founded in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada in 1980 by imaging pioneer Dr. Savvas Chamberlain, then a Professor in Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Originally the company concentrated in developing and generating technology in the area of Charge Coupled Device (CCD) image sensors. Since then the company has grown into an industry leader in semiconductor technology, employing more than 900 people world-wide. The company was capitalised in November 1984 and went public on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: DSA) in May 1996. Headquarters remain in Waterloo, but DALSA has expanded operations into Bromont, Quebec, and Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in addition to sales offices in the U.S., Germany and Japan.
"Our continual technology development and our commitment to customers have
earned us leadership positions in markets as diverse as professional digital
still photography and the highest performance wafer inspection. With our latest
technologies we are delivering success in new markets such as dental and medical
x-ray. We are proud of our reputation as the supplier of choice for the highest
performance imaging components and
solutions."
