SWIR Vision Systems (Durham, NC) has closed a Series A financing round totaling $5 million, which will be used towards development of the company’s infrared (IR) image sensor solutions for industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, and other applications.
Based on a quantum-dot photodiode sensor design, SWIR Vision Systems’ shortwave-infrared (SWIR) cameras are already in use inspecting high-volume production semiconductor chips in the world’s largest semiconductor chip fab.
SWIR Vision Systems plans to use its Series A funding to advance the company’s colloidal quantum dot (CQD) sensor solutions, to grow the company’s SWIR camera business in the global industrial and defense markets, and to engage strategic customers in the consumer electronics, automotive, and advanced sensor markets.
