Welcome to ITL At the University of Arizona

ITL is dedicated to advancing scientific and industrial sciences by developing enabling technologies for the 3D heterogenous integration of optics, photonics and semiconductor devices. We specialize in Back Side Illuminated (BSI) camera sensors and the advanced packaging of those devices. 

We have delivered over 4,000 sensors and other systems to the worldwide scientific and industrial imaging communities.  They are used in astronomy, Earth observing, semiconductor applications, high energy physics, and for many other applications. ITL is operated by the Steward Observatory at The University of Arizona and is affiliated with the Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing.
