Re: Sony develops new back-illuminated CMOS image sensor
It makes a lot of sense to construct the sensor this way. It will be interesting to see what comes of this development.

Re: Sony develops new back-illuminated CMOS image sensor
The company I used to work for made back-thinned CCD sensors. They produced chips for specialist jobs, including space... just did a search and it looks like some have made it to Mars!:

Can't find an image though.
