"TSMC has been the major CIS module production partner for OmniVision although the module vendor is also outsourcing part of its production to China-based XMC.

UMC has tied up with STMicroelectronics to develop 65nm BSI CIS technology and is currently producing BSI products at its Fab 12i in Singapore."
