What is Sony IMX682 sensor?

Sony IMX686 and Sony IMX682 are quad-pixel sensors where there are four pixels are layered below one cell of Bayer color filter (instead of 1). The sensor combines data from these 4 tiny pixels into one and this results in one bigger pixel that can capture relatively better details and wider dynamic range.

Does Sony make their own sensors?
