Image sensors are used in the production fields for improving quality control and product yield of the different products. Image sensors can be one of two types of devices. It can either be a CCD, which is an analog device, or a CMOS chip, which is a type of active pixel sensor made using the CMOS. These sensors are integrated in various applications to help reduce the costs by knowing its key technology and market trends. Some of the common applications of image sensors include camcorders, videoconferencing, biometrics, digital camera, optical mice, and virtual keyboards.

Image sensors are categorized into linear image sensors, CCD image sensors (area image sensor), and X-ray image sensors. In addition, the linear image sensors are further segmented into NMOS image sensors, CMOS image sensors, and InGaAs image sensors. Due to the large demand of CMOS image sensors accounting more than 90% of the linear image sensor market, the linear image sensors as a whole dominates the global market with the largest share of shipment and revenue.
