In September 1999, the company completed construction of a new 2,600 square foot Class 100 clean room for packaging and testing of imaging sensors. The project is due for completion by August 2000. SITe's technical capabilities have taken the company to the forefront in several niches of the solid-state imager market, particularly those involving radiation environments and space flight conditions where high quantum efficiency and high resolution are crucial. SITe's CCD technology incorporates a proprietary, patented process for thinning and strengthening the substrate to accommodate back-lighting of the pixels, a process which yields devices with very high quantum efficiencies over a wide range of wavelengths from near infrared to ultraviolet. SITe focuses on the design and manufacture of scientific grade CCD imaging components and modules, providing both standard designs and custom CCDs for user-defined performance specifications.
SITe also offers CCD fabrication services for customers with specialized imager designs.
