Presentations

Principal Engineer, Head of Automotive Sensor Design Group – Samsung
Min-Sun Keel received the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA, in 2015. From 2002, he is working for Samsung Electronics as an analog IC designer and a system architect for CMOS image sensors. His research interests include high dynamic-range sensors, 3D depth sensors, and low-noise sensor readout architectures with energy-efficiency. He is currently a head of Automotive Sensor Design Group, to develop and investigate high-performance automotive CMOS image sensors.
CMOS image sensors are evolving rapidly for the past 20 years to emulate the human vision system. In the near future, we will see image sensors, which are comparable to the human eyes in terms of resolution, dynamic range, frame-rate, and autofocus. The key enabling technologies will be introduced to realize human-eye-like image sensors. Then, what will be the next? We expect CMOS image sensors will augment the human eye system. Wider dynamic range will make autonomous driving much safer. Multi-spectral sensors will let us see even in the bad weather conditions. Depth sensing will provide 3D space information to the machine vision system. All the aggregate image sensor technologies will make our daily life safer, securer, and healthier.

Director of Technology for Optical Sensors Department – STMicroelectronics
Helene Wehbe-Alause has a PhD in Physics of semiconductors, on III-V quantum wells heterostructures for optical filtering, in collaboration with Schlumberger.
Helene joined STMicroelectronics in 2000 after a few years with Thales avionics developing sensors for space and aeronautical applications. She started working with 0.35µm and 120nm digital CMOS production technologies before taking the lead in 2.2µm pixel development for Image Sensor R&D in 2006.
Since 2011, she has been managing the ST Process integration team for CIS: developing the BSI, 3D stacking brick, 90nm and 40nm SPAD technologies, and bringing CDTI-based rolling and global shutters to production. In 2017, she integrated the TCAD simulation team to boost development of new pixels from concept to full qualification stages. In 2021, she was appointed Director of Technology for Optical Sensors Department to support the ST Imaging Division in developing various technologies and innovative pixel architectures, through to quality and readiness for industrialization.
Since their revolutionary introduction in smartphones cameras, optical sensors have seen exponential growth in groundbreaking user detection, face recognition, payment, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality applications. They help us make decisions and are pouring into new domains like vehicles thanks to Advanced Driver Assistance systems, lidars, etc. Among these new features, distance measurement has added a third dimension and 3D vision has become widespread. To render all these new uses possible, optical sensors have evolved and diversified with Time-of-Flight, direct or indirect, Single photon avalanche detection, rolling and global shutter technologies, and more.
We will be presenting the different pixel architectures in this webinar, along with their innovative technological features.

At ST, we are 46,000 creators and makers of semiconductor technologies mastering the semiconductor supply chain with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. An independent device manufacturer, we work with our 100,000 customers and thousands of partners to design and build products, solutions, and ecosystems that address their challenges and opportunities, and the need to support a more sustainable world. Our technologies enable smarter mobility, more efficient power and energy management, and the wide-scale deployment of the Internet of Things and 5G technology.

Sr Director, MEMS and Sensor Products – Amkor Technology, Inc.
Weilung joined Amkor in 2015 and is currently responsible for MEMS and Sensor products business and optical sensor package development. Prior to joining Amkor, he worked for Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (SPIL) as a technical program manager supporting key US customers and in R&D developing wirebond and flip chip products. Weilung holds a master’s degree in Information Management from the National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, Taiwan.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are designed to help the driving process and enhance car/road safety. Automotive optical sensors enable ADAS and the autonomous driving transition from SAE J3016 Level 2 towards Level 4/5, according to SAE International (formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers).
Current optical sensor chip designs require custom package solutions which have assembly packaging and test challenges. In addition, stringent reliability requirements increase the development time to select materials, run process evaluation, optimize process parameters and complete reliability verification for automotive applications.
New automotive optical package innovations extend Amkor’s broad package portfolio capabilities and expertise to benefit automotive customers. The solution to current automotive image sensor application challenges involves creating a package platform that utilizes an assembly open toolbox, adopts a new generation of wafer fabrication requirement, achieves faster development cycle time and manages cost efficiency.
This presentation will discuss a standard package platform to design alternative package solutions, overcome technical challenges and satisfy the automotive requirements for optical sensors.
