Performance of hybrid silicon focal planes

Infrared hybrid silicon focal planes offer the advantage of combining excellent performance with high cost-effectiveness. It will be shown that an extrinsic indium-doped detector array interconnected to 32 × 32 direct injection multiplexer exhibits an interconnect yield of 99.6 percent. Furthermore, radiometric performance data such as detectivity and responsivity will be presented in addition to operational characteristics such as the effect of bias voltage, integration time, and skimming on signal output.
