Executive Summary

• This full reverse costing study has been conducted to provide insight on technology data, manufacturingcost and selling price of the Sony IMX400.

• This innovative CIS will be the next generation from Sony. The CIS included a 22 Mpixels array, a 1GbDRAM die and a Digital Signal Processing on the same die footprint. This is the first tri-layers stacked CISthat we can found on the market. In this configuration, Sony can provide a fast readout image sensor withno distortion when shooting fast-moving object thanks to the high capacity DRAM between the Pixel Arraycircuit and the DSP circuit.

• Using the Sony’s Exmor-RS and the Xperi’s Zibond technology, Sony managed to integrate the three dies ina single thin, small and cost-effective die sensor. Surprisingly, the die sensor a unique sort of TSV withmultiple level to interconnected the dies.

• This report includes a complete analysis of the Camera module from the Sony Xperia™ XZs, featuringcamera module disassembly and die analyses, processes and cross-section. It also includes a comparisonwith Samsung Galaxy S7, Apple iPhone 7 Plus, and Huawei P9 telephoto camera modules. At the CIS level,it compares the IMX260, the IMX286, and the latest custom CIS for Apple from Sony’s portfolio. Finally, itcontains a complete cost analysis and a selling price estimation of the CIS die.

Physical Analysis Methodology

• Module is analyzed and measured.

• The module is opened to get overall dies data: dimensions, main characteristics, device markings.

o Pictures of selected area are made in order to understand the connections of the CIS.

o Cross section of Module to measure thicknesses and understand the assembly

• The CIS is separated to get overall die data: dimensions, main blocks, pad number and pin out, die marking.

o Removal of metal layers (step by step) to identify the dies and measure the minimum dimensions.

o Pictures of selected areas to identify the nature of the transistors.

o SEM photographs to measure the transistors dimensions.
