CMOS sensors are semiconductor devices that convert light into electrical signals, widely used in digital cameras and imaging devices due to their low power consumption and high-speed performance. They integrate amplifiers and noise-correction circuits directly on the chip, allowing for more compact and cost-effective designs compared to CCD sensors.

CMOS Sensors

Semiconductor devices are essential components in modern electronics, enabling the control and manipulation of electrical signals in devices ranging from smartphones to computers. Their unique properties, derived from the behavior of charge carriers in semiconductor materials, allow them to function as diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits, which form the backbone of digital technology.
