Abstract

Recent advances in detector fabrication techniques at Cincinnati Electronics Corporation have made possible high quality Indium Arsenide (InAs) photovoltaic detectors. InAs detectors are an alternative to Indium Antimonide (InSb) detectors when the wavelength of interest is less than 3.5 microns. InAs photovoltaic (PV) detectors offer the flexibility of thermo-electric cooling available with photoconductive detectors such as lead sulfide without sacrificing speed. Recent advances in detector fabrication techniques have made off-mesa bonding possible. These advances will be discussed below as well as their effect on detector performance. Responsivity and noise data at various operating temperatures will be presented as well.
