Foveon makes photographic light-sensing chips for digital cameras. The X3 direct image sensor is manufactured using a CMOS fabrication process, which is widely employed in the semiconductor industry. The X3 name comes from the three layers of pixels embedded in the silicon, each of which records a different color -- red on the bottom layer, green in the middle, and blue on top. The X3 is found in Polaroid, Sigma, and Toshiba camera models. Co-founded in 1997 by legendary chip engineer Carver Mead, the company is backed by National Semiconductor and Synaptics, among other investors. Foveon was the subject of a book published in 2005, The Silicon Eye, written by famed technology newsletter editor George Gilder.
