Canon Patent Reveals Smarter Wiring Design for Large Image Sensors
In a bid to advance large-format imaging, Canon has just patented a new semiconductor wiring structure that could improve the performance, reliability, and production yield of high-resolution sensors. It’s more than smaller and smarter wires. Think of it like a more efficient and robust design for large image sensors. Check out the highlights below.
Canon new patent: Semiconductor Device And Method For Manufacturing Semiconductor Device Modern image sensors, especially full-frame and larger formats used in cinema and photography, require extremely fine electrical wiring to connect pixels across the chip. But as sensors get physically bigger (sometimes over 36mm wide) conventional lithography equipment hits a hard limit: it simply can’t expose the entire sensor area in one shot. That’s where Canon’s innovation steps in. Canon’s new patent outlines a way to strategically widen wiring segments in overlap regions: those areas where two photomask exposures meet on a large wafer. By increasing the width of these “bridging” sections while keeping the rest of the wiring narrow (less than 180 nanometers), Canon can dramatically reduce risks of:
-
Misalignment between exposure zones
-
Broken or short-circuited signal lines
-
Noise and image artifacts, especially near pixel rows
This architecture uses damascene wiring which is a process where trenches are carved into an insulating layer, filled with copper, and polished flat. It’s the gold standard for modern CMOS imaging sensors.
Canon new patent: Semiconductor Device And Method For Manufacturing Semiconductor Device 
Canon new patent: Semiconductor Device And Method For Manufacturing Semiconductor Device In practice, this innovation enables Canon to:
-
Build larger and more reliable CMOS sensors without compromising pixel density
-
Deliver cleaner signals from edge to edge, especially important in 8K+ resolution sensors
-
Improve manufacturing yields, which helps lower costs in production
The patent also integrates a clever pixel layout trick: thickened wiring segments are mirrored even in pixels that don’t lie in exposure overlap regions. This helps maintain uniform image quality and avoids visible artifacts in the final image. Whether Canon will apply this to upcoming Cinema EOS, RF mirrorless, or even industrial sensors, is not stated. But from a tech perspective, it’s a smart move toward future-proofing high-resolution imaging.
Canon EOS C70 vs EOS C80 vs EOS C400: Which Cinema Camera Matches Your Shooting Style? What makes this patent stand out is not flashy resolution numbers or marketing jargon, but rather the underlying infrastructure that enables Canon to scale up its sensors safely and efficiently. As demands rise for larger sensors, whether in cinema, surveillance, or computational imaging, this kind of semiconductor engineering is what keeps innovation possible. Hence, Canon’s latest patent is a great example of subtle but essential sensor design thinking. By tweaking how wires are routed across large chips, Canon is laying the groundwork for more powerful and reliable large sensor cameras in the years ahead.

Antarctica’s ocean flip: Satellites catch sudden salt surge melting ice from below
Researchers have discovered a dramatic and unexpected shift in the Southern Ocean, with surface water salinity rising and sea ice in steep decline.
Since 2015, Antarctica has lost sea ice equal to the size of Greenland — the largest environmental shift seen anywhere on Earth in the last decades. The Southern Ocean is also getting saltier, and this unexpected change is making the problem worse.
For decades, the ocean’s surface freshened (becoming less salty), helping sea ice grow. Now, scientists say that trend has sharply reversed.
Using European satellite data, research led by the University of Southampton has discovered a sudden rise in surface salinity south of 50° latitude.
This has coincided with a dramatic loss of sea ice around Antarctica and the re-emergence of the Maud Rise polynya in the Weddell Sea – a huge hole in the sea ice nearly four times the size of Wales, which hadn’t occurred since the 1970s.
The findings were published on June 30 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dr Alessandro Silvano from the University of Southampton who led the research said: “Saltier surface water allows deep ocean heat to rise more easily, melting sea ice from below. It’s a dangerous feedback loop: less ice leads to more heat, which leads to even less ice.
“The return of the Maud Rise polynya signals just how unusual the current conditions are. If this salty, low-ice state continues, it could permanently reshape the Southern Ocean — and with it, the planet. The effects are already global: stronger storms, warmer oceans, and shrinking habitats for penguins and other iconic Antarctic wildlife.”
In these polar waters, cold, fresh surface water overlays warmer, saltier waters from the deep. In the winter, as the surface cools and sea ice forms, the density difference (stratification) between water layers weakens, allowing these layers to mix and heat to be transported upward, melting the sea ice from below and limiting its growth.
Since the early 1980s, the surface of the Southern Ocean had been freshening, and stratification had been strengthening, trapping heat below and sustaining more sea ice coverage.
Now, new satellite technology, combined with information from floating robotic devices which travel up and down the water column, shows this trend has reversed; surface salinity is increasing, stratification is weakening, and sea ice has reached multiple record lows — with large openings of open ocean in the sea ice (polynyas) returning.
It’s the first time scientists have been able to monitor these changes in the Southern Ocean in real-time.
Contrary to the new findings, man-made climate change was generally expected to sustain Antarctic Sea ice cover over the coming years.
Aditya Narayanan, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Southampton and co-author on the paper, explains: “While scientists expected that human-driven climate change would eventually lead to Antarctic Sea ice decline, the timing and nature of this shift remained uncertain.
“Previous projections emphasized enhanced surface freshening and stronger ocean stratification, which could have supported sustained sea ice cover. Instead, a rapid reduction in sea ice — an important reflector of solar radiation — has occurred, potentially accelerating global warming.”
Professor Alberto Naveira Garabato, co-author of the study and Regius Professor of Ocean Sciences at the University of Southampton added: “The new findings suggest that our current understanding may be insufficient to accurately predict future changes.”
“It makes the need for continuous satellite and in-situ monitoring all the more pressing, so we can better understand the drivers of recent and future shifts in the ice-ocean system.”
The paper Rising surface salinity and declining sea ice: a new Southern Ocean state revealed by satellites is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and is available online.
The project was supported by the European Space Agency.

Pakistan says citizens can register for Hajj 2026 through online portal, 15 designated banks
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) issued a fresh warning regarding flash floods and glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) events on Wednesday citing severe weather conditions, as heavy monsoon rains killed 63 across the country in one week.
According to the NDMA, the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province reported the highest number of casualties due to rain-related incidents since June 26, 22, followed by Punjab with 21, Sindh with 15 and five in Balochistan. At least 113 were injured throughout the country, among them 45 children, 37 men and 31 women.
The disaster management authority has warned provincial and local authorities to stay on high alert throughout the monsoon season, particularly in mountainous and low-lying areas, as heavy rains continue to batter parts of Punjab and KP. A deadly flash flood last week in the northwestern Swat Valley swept away 17 members of a single tourist family during a sudden rise in water levels. Twelve bodies have been recovered so far, according to rescue officials, with search operations ongoing for the remaining person.
“National Emergencies Operation Center (NEOC) of NDMA has issued multiple impact-based weather alerts for various regions of Pakistan in light of forecasted severe weather conditions expected from 2nd to 8th July 2025,” the NDMA said. “These alerts highlight the growing risk of flash floods, Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) and urban flooding in different parts of the country.”
The NDMA said low to moderate rainfall is likely to continue until July 5, after which an active southwest monsoon system, coupled with a westerly wave, is expected to enter the country and generate moderate to heavy rainfall and localized thunderstorms.
“The most affected regions are upper catchments of major rivers including Central and Lower Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Jammu & Kashmir and the northeastern parts of Punjab, particularly Lahore,” the authority said.
It warned of increased river flows across the country, River Kabul in particular and warning that inflows into Tarbela Dam may reach the low flood limit. The NDMA said flash floods in riverine areas, especially where nullahs and local streams converge, may pose threats to nearby settlements.
“Simultaneously, the risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) and landslides has increased in Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where ongoing high temperatures have accelerated glacier and snow melt,” the NDMA said.
“The situation is further aggravated by incoming moist currents and rainfall. Vulnerable glacial valleys and narrow mountain passes may face sudden GLOF events, flash floods, road blockages, and disruptions to infrastructure and tourism.”
The NDMA warned that in northeastern Punjab, including Lahore, Sialkot, and Narowal districts, local nullahs such as Aik, Deg, Bein, Basantar, and Palku may overflow, causing waterlogging and urban flooding in low-lying neighborhoods. In D.G. Khan and Rajanpur, hill torrents may also be activated, causing localized low-level flooding.
The authority urged the public to take precautionary measures, warning residents against unnecessary travel.
“Tourists are advised against visiting high-altitude and glacial regions during this period,” it said. “Municipal and district administrations are instructed to ensure readiness of flood response teams, clearing of storm water drains and nullahs, and maintaining rapid response capabilities.”
Pakistan, home to over 240 million people, is one of the countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, facing increasingly frequent and intense weather events such as heatwaves, droughts and torrential rains.
In 2022, a combination of heavy monsoon rains and glacial melt caused catastrophic floods that killed more than 1,700 people and caused damage estimated at over $33 billion.Continue Reading
