Sheba Microsystems
North York fabless semiconductor company making silicon MEMS micro-actuators that move the image sensor rather than the lens, delivering autofocus and optical image stabilisation in automotive, embedded-vision and AR/VR cameras.
Canadian innovation builds a brighter tomorrow.
About
Source: shebamicrosystems.caSheba Microsystems states that it was "founded in 2016 as a spin-out of the University of Toronto" and is "a fabless semiconductor company specializing in advanced micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) actuators for optical applications". Its approach moves the image sensor rather than the lens to achieve autofocus and optical image stabilisation, built on a patented piston-tube electrode configuration and moving bond-wire design. Its applications span automotive cameras, embedded vision and AR/VR/XR headsets, and it also offers MEMS active athermalization actuators that compensate for thermal focus drift.
