A new generation of large area semiconductor based γ-ray camera for astrophysics space application has been developed through the γ-ray IBIS (Imager on Board INTEGRAL Satellite) telescope program, on board the ESA INTEGRAL satellite. This instrument features a coded-mask aperture imaging system, active and passive shields and two detector arrays. The first one (ISGRI : INTEGRAL Soft Gamma-Ray Imager) is made of 16384 CdTe detectors (4×4mm large, 2mm thick) operating at room temperature and will operate between 15keV and 1MeV. The second detector array (PICsIT : Pixelated CsI Telescope) is made of 4096 CsI scintillators (9.2×9.2mm large, 30mm high) coupled to silicon PIN photodiodes working between 150keV and 10MeV. IBIS combine broad band energy, spectroscopic capabilities and high spatial resolution imaging (12arcmin) over a wide field of view (~20°×20°, 50% sensitivity). A ``flight-like'' model of the detectors has been built, integrated and successfully tested. After a description of the IBIS imaging principle, we will report results obtained with the qualification model of the ISGRI camera.
