Approximately in 2007-2008, companies began to gradually replace CCD-sensors with type CMOS sensor, and then proceeded to build a serious issue with it is CMOS-matrix image. Matrix type CMOS image perfectly lay on the eponymous process technology, were cheaper and by the mid-2000s in quality were approaching the CCD-sensor. Digital photo and now smartphones tablets demonstrate satisfactory and even good quality of digital photographs taken on CMOS-matrix. Logical that the next step will minimize the release of CCD-sensors to their complete disappearance.
Sony has already announced the production of folding CCD-sensors up to 2020. Phased stop 200-mm lines at the Kagoshima Technology Centre will begin in March 2017 with a complete cessation of production cycle in 2020. In parallel, the company is stepping up production of CMOS-sensor. After 2020, will remain a number of independent producers CCD-matrix, which can satisfy the special need of this matrix type.
