TECHNOLOGY Technology ams’ sensor solutions are at the heart of the products and technologies that define our world today – from smartphones and mobile devices to smart homes and buildings, industrial automation, medical technology, and connected vehicles. Our products drive applications requiring small form factor, low power, highest sensitivity and multi-sensor integration. Sensing is Life Our vision is to create the uncontested leader in optical solutions through bold investments in disruptive innovation and continuous transformation delivering best-in-class profitability and growth. Visit our dedicated website Lateral Flow Testing (LFT) ams developed an optical readout for improved Lateral Flow Testing (LFT). Simple design and relevant accuracy allows these widely used LFTs to be produced in a cost-effective way at high volumes. Lateral Flow Tests are compact, portable and easy to use. Our small, cost-effective optical module is designed to improve the performance of LFTs. The technology increases optical sensitivity, accommodating different optical measurement methodologies and allowing multi-analyte detection. The ams optical module contains a spectral sensor and can be integrated into Lateral Flow Tests. A license and support from ams is necessary to use our spectral sensing chip AS7341L.

Based on our state-of-the art Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology and our optical design and packaging capabilities, we provide unique solutions for all 3D sensing cameras: dot-pattern illuminators for structured light cameras as well as texture enhancement for stereo cameras, and a wide range of flood illuminators for ToF and video capture. We complement our VCSEL illuminators with software and system-level components to assist in the deployment of 3D cameras. Our solutions are used in a variety of consumer electronic platforms such as face recognition applications for mobile devices, gesture and people recognition for home systems, robotics navigation, and Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) for automotive. >> Watch our demo video about 3D face recognition >> Read our sensor blog about FIDO authentication Find out more about our 3D sensing solutions Advanced Packaging Chip packaging technologies developed by ams help its state-of-the-art optical devices and position sensor products to achieve very high precision and low-noise performance. Advanced packaging technologies from ams include: Wafer-level optics, which enable the precise fabrication of lenses for miniature light sources and detectors Through-silicon vias, which radically reduce the height of an optical IC package and eliminate the need for wire bonds System-in-Package (SiP) technology – ams integrates complete position sensor assemblies into a single SiP to save space and eliminate a board assembly process for its customers Discover advanced packaging technologies Audio Sensing The use of visual Augmented Reality technology is becoming more important in everyday life applications. Thereby, ams has extended its audio portfolio with the introduction of its Digital Augmented Hearing solutions - which significantly enhance the audio experience of consumers in different environments. Discover audio technologies CMOS Imaging ams continuously develops new technology to improve the performance of its CMOS image sensors. These technology improvements support both custom CMOS image sensor developments and standard, off-the-shelf CMOS image sensor products. Discover CMOS image sensor technologies Micro-lens Arrays Micro-lens arrays from ams operate as ultra-small projectors which have patterns integrated into the micro-optic lens, producing sharp images in brilliant color. Used in the automotive sector to cast distinctive light patterns on the road around the perimeter of a car, for instance, the ams micro-lens arrays provide a unique way to project bright, sharp images on flat, angled or curved surfaces. Discover Micro Lens Array Technology Position Sensing Contactless position sensors from ams offer best-in-class immunity to magnetic stray fields, superior durability and compliance with the most stringent safety requirements. Discover Position Sensing technologies Spectral Sensing By shining light on or through objects and by looking at the reflected or transmitted spectrum, a sensor system can detect or classify what it is looking at.
