Low-cost uncooled infrared detector arrays in standard CMOS Eminoglu, S; Tanrikulu, MY; Akın, Tayfun (2003-04-25) This paper reports the development of a low-cost 128 x 128 uncooled infrared focal plane array (FPA) based on suspended and thermally isolated CMOS p(+)-active/n-well diodes. The FPA is fabricated using a standard 0.35 mum CMOS process followed by simple post-CMOS bulk micromachining that does not require any critical lithography or complicated deposition steps; and therefore, the cost of the uncooled FPA is almost equal to the cost of the CMOS chip. The post-CMOS fabrication steps include an RIE etching to...
High speed QWIP FPAs on InP substrates Eker, S. U.; Arslan, Y.; Beşikci, Cengiz (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-01) Quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) technology has allowed the realization of low cost staring focal plane arrays (FPAs). However, AlGaAs/(In)GaAs QWIP FPAs suffer from low quantum and conversion efficiencies under high frame rate and/or low background conditions.
Large format dual-band quantum well infrared photodetector focal plane arrays Arslan, Yetkin; Beşikci, Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIPs) are strong competitors to other detector technologies for future third generation thermal imagers. QWIPs have inherent advantages of mature III-V material system and well settled fabrication technology, as well as narrow band photo-response which is an important property facilitating the development of dual-band imagers with low crosstalk. This thesis focuses on the development of long/mid wavelength dual band QWIP focal plane arrays (FPAs) based on the AlGaAs/Ga...
A Dual-Band Wide-Angle Scanning Phased Array Antenna in K/Ka Bands for Satellite-on-the-Move Applications Kapusuz, Kamil Yavuz; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Yarovoy, Alexander G. (2017-03-24) This study presents the design of a dual-band cavity-backed phased array antenna with wide-angle scanning capability in K/Ka bands for the geostationary (GSO)-fixed satellite service (FSS). To reduce the losses and mutual coupling, a novel antenna element similar to the cavity-backed Strip-Slot-Air-Inverted-Patch (SSAIP) is proposed as an element of designed array of 81 elements. Wide-angle scanning up to 60 degrees is achieved at both frequency bands of the operation. The developed antenna is suitable for ...
Large format AlInAs-InGaAs quantum-well infrared photodetector focal plane array for midwavelength infrared thermal imaging Ozer, S.; Tümkaya, Umman; Beşikci, Cengiz (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-09-01) 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 ba...
