Abstract

The fabrication and optimization of InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice (SL) detectors for single-color and dual-color focal plane arrays in the mid-wavelength infrared spectral range between 3-5 &mgr;m is reported. Single color focal plane arrays with 288 x 384 detector elements and 24 &mgr;m pitch have been fabricated with high pixel yield. Camera systems with InAs/GaSb SL detectors reveal NETD values of 27.9 mK at a cut-off wavelength of &lgr;_c = 4.9 &mgr;m for an integration time of only 1 msec with F#/2.4 optics. A dual-color MWIR/MWIR InAs/GaSb SL camera, developed for missile approach warning systems, features simultaneous and spatially coincident detection for both spectral channels on each pixel. The camera system with 288 x 384 detector elements in 40 &mgr;m pitch shows excellent NETD values and high pixel operability. The fabrication of dual-color focal plane arrays on 3" GaSb substrates is presented.
