Two-dimensional monolithic lead chalcogenide infrared sensor arrays on silicon read-out chips and noise mechanisms.

Two-dimensional monolithic lead chalcogenide infrared sensor arrays on silicon read-out chips and noise mechanisms.

A two-dimensional narrow-gap infrared (IR) focal plane array on an Si substrate where the Si substrate contains the active addressing electronics is described. The array consists of 96 × 128 pixels with 75-μm pitch and is fabricated in a lead-chalcogenide layer grown epitaxially on the Si read-out c...
