We report the first large format (640 x 512) AlInAs-InGaAs quantum-well infrared photodetector (QWIP) focal plane array (FPA), and investigate the characteristics of AlInAs-InGaAs QWIPs both at pixel and FPA level. The measurements on the detectors fabricated with molecular beam epitaxy grown epilayer structure including 30 InGaAs quantum wells (26 A thick, N-D = 2 x 10(18) cm(-3)) yielded very promising characteristics. The detectors with lambda(p) = 4.2 mu m and Delta lambda/lambda(p) = 25% displayed a background-limited performance temperature as high as 105 K with f/2 aperture. The noise equivalent temperature difference of the FPA is as low as 23 mK (f/1.5) at 105-K sensor temperature with 99.6% operability. These results are comparable to the best results reported for AlGaAs-InGaAs midwavelength infrared QWIPs showing the promise of this material system for completely lattice-matched multiband QWIP FPAs.

Large-format voltage-tunable dual-color midwavelength infrared quantum-well infrared photodetector focal plane array
Kaldirim, M.; Eker, S. U.; Arslan, Y.; Tümkaya, Umman; Beşikci, Cengiz (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-05-01)
We report a large-format (640 x 512) voltage-tunable quantum-well infrared photodetector (QWIP) focal plane array (FPA) for dual-color imaging in the midwavelength infrared (3-5 mu m) band. Voltage-tunable spectral response has been achieved through series connection of two eight-well stacks of AlGaAs-InGaAs epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrate. The peak responsivity wavelength of the detectors is shifted from 4.1 mu m (color 1) to 4.7 mu m (color 2) as the bias is increased within th...
Large-format voltage-tunable dual-band quantum-well infrared photodetector focal plane array for third-generation thermal imagers
Eker, S. U.; Kaldirim, M.; Arslan, Y.; Beşikci, Cengiz (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-10-01)
We report a large-format (640 x 512) voltage-tunable quantum-well (QW) infrared photodetector focal plane array (FPA) for dual-band imaging in the mid- and long-wavelength infrared (MWIR and LWIR) bands. Voltage-tunable spectral response has been achieved through a series connection of eight-well MWIR AlGaAs-InGaAs and 16-well LWIR AlGaAs-GaAs QW stacks grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrate. The peak responsivity wavelength of the detectors is shifted from 4.8 to 8.4 mu m as the bias is increase...
Assessment of large format InP/InGaAs quantum well infrared photodetector focal plane array
Ozer, S; Cellek, OO; Beşikci, Cengiz (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-01)
We report the fabrication and characteristics of large format (640 x 512) InP/In0.53Ga0.47As long wavelength infrared (LWIR) quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) focal plane array (FPA). The FPA, which is hybridized to a read-out integrated circuit having a charge capacity of 1.1 x 10(7) electrons, yielded a mean noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) of similar to 40 mK at a cold finger temperature as high as 77 K. The performance of the FPA, being comparable to that of AlGaAs/GaAs QWIP FPAs,...
High responsivity InP-InGaAs quantum-well infrared photodetectors: Characteristics and focal plane array performance
Cellek, OO; Ozer, S; Beşikci, Cengiz (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-07-01)
We report the detailed characteristics of long-wavelength infrared InP-In0.53Ga0.47As quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) and 640 x 512 focal plane array (FPA) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. For reliable assessment of the detector performance, characterization was performed on test detectors of the same size and structure with the FPA pixels. Al0.27Ga0.73As-GaAs QWIPs with similar spectral response (lambda(p) = similar to 7.8 mu m) were also fabricated and characterized for comparison. InP-InGaAs...
Fabrication of 15-mu m Pitch 640 x 512 InAs/GaSb Type-II Superlattice Focal Plane Arrays
Oguz, Fikri; Arslan, Yetkin; Ulker, Erkin; Bek, Alpan; Ozbay, Ekmel (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-08-01)
We present the fabrication of large format 640 x 512, 15-mu m pitch, mid-wave infrared region (MWIR) InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice (T2SL) focal plane array (FPA). In this report, the details of device design and fabrication processes are withheld adhering to the common practice of most of the manufactures and developers because of the strategic importance; however, information about fabrication processes of T2SLs FPA is presented to a certain extent. Comparison of etching techniques, passivation materials ...
