摘要
To meet the demands for high performance HgCdTe detectors at high yield and producibility, key processes have been optimized and new approaches have been developed. By a superiour CdZnTe Bridgman growth process, dislocation densities < 1x10(5) cm(-2) in substrate and epitaxial layer are achieved for all substrates, ensuring high performance Focal-Plane-Arrays, particulary for lambda(CO) = 11,5 mum arrays. A new guard ring approach for planar diodes, created by a n(+)-region in pixel spacing area reduces pixel crosstalk and improves Modulation Transfer Function. For high thermal cycles of the FPA, the flip-chip-technique has been optimized, leading to > 2000 cycles for 640x512-FPA's. Producibility and reliability of AIM's MCT FPA technology are demonstrated.
