Of course, all of Sony’s larger sensors are OSC...
The 178/183 with tiny 2.4 micron pixels and BSI reportedly have QE ~83%, albeit with a gargantuan read noise (<2e) by comparison.

Yes the OSC version of the 36mp sensor is available. I meant though the mono version which would be a special run I suppose as it has microlenses.
<2 electrons is of course amazingly low read noise and way lower than any CCD camera of which a good one is 6 and an average one about 12.
