This paper reports the development of a low-cost, 64 x 64 uncooled infrared focal plane array (FPA) based on suspended and thermally isolated p(+)-active/n-well diodes in a standard 0.35 mum CMOS process. The array is implemented using a simple post-CMOS process that do not require any critical lithography or complicated deposition steps. The pixel is 40 mum x 40 mum in size with a fill factor of 44%, and it has a measured DC responsivity of 4970 V/W with a thermal time constant of 36 msec at 80 mToff vacuum. The detector noise is measured as 0.52 muV for a 4 kHz electrical bandwidth with a 1/f corner frequency of 4.4 Hz, resulting in a measured detectivity of 9.7 x 10(8) cmHz(1/2)/W and an estimated NETD value of 470 mK for an f = 1 optics. The FPA is scanned at 30 fps using a 16-channel parallel readout circuit with low noise preamplifiers. The preampliers have a measured noise of 0.48 muV, resulting in an overall estimated NETD of 800 mK, which can be decreased by increasing the number of parallel readout channels. The uncompensated pixel voltage non-uniformity is measured as 0.82%, which easily decreases down to 0.05% by compensating the fixed pattern noise. Considering its simple fabrication method and its moderate performance, this approach is suitable for low-cost commercial infrared imaging applications.

A low cost uncooled infrared microbolometer focal plane array using the CMOS n-well layer
Tezcan, DS; Eminoglu, S; Akar, OS; Akın, Tayfun (2001-01-25)
This paper reports a low-cost, 256-pixel uncooled infrared microbolometer focal plane array (FPA) implemented using a 0.8 mum CMOS process where the n-well layer is used as the active microbolometer material. The suspended n-well structure is obtained by simple front-end bulk etching of the fabricated CMOS dies, while the n-well region is protected from etching by electrochemical etch-stop technique within a TMAH solution. Electrical connections to the suspended n-well are obtained with polysilicon intercon...
A low-cost 128x128 uncooled infrared detector array in CMOS process
Eminoglu, Selim; Tanrikulu, Mahmud Yusuf; Akın, Tayfun (2008-02-01)
This paper discusses the implementation of a low-cost 128 x 128 uncooled infrared microbolometer detector array together with its integrated readout circuit (ROC) using a standard 0.35 mu m n-well CMOS and post-CMOS MEMS processes. The detector array can be created with simple bulk-micromachining processes after the CMOS fabrication, without the need for any complicated lithography or deposition steps. The array detectors are based on suspended p(+)-active/n-well diode microbolometers with a pixel size of 4...
An uncooled microbolometer infrared focal plane array in standard CMOS
Tezcan, Ds; Eminoglu, S; Akar, Os; Akın, Tayfun (2001-01-24)
This paper reports implementation of a low-cost microbolometer focal plane array using n-well layer in a CMOS process as the microbolometer material. N-well microbolometer structures are suspended for thermal isolation by postetching of fabricated CMOS dies using silicon bulk-micromachining techniques. Although n-well has a moderate TCR of 0.5-0.65 %/K at 300 K, it still provides a reasonable performance due to its single crystal structure which contributes low 1/f noise. Detailed thermal simulations in ANS...
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...
A current mirroring integration based readout circuit for high performance infrared FPA applications
Külah, Haluk; Akın, Tayfun (2003-04-01)
This paper reports a current mirroring integration (CMI) CMOS readout circuit for high-resolution infrared focal plane array (FPA) applications. The circuit uses a feedback structure with current mirrors to provide stable bias voltage across the photodetector diode, while mirroring the diode current to an integration capacitor. The integration capacitor can be placed outside of the unit pixel, reducing the pixel area and allowing to integrate the current on larger capacitance for larger charge storage capac...
