We report the latest developments of MW HgCdTe electron initiated avalanche photo-diodes (e-APDs) focal plane arrays (FPAs) at CEA-LETI. The MW e-APD FPAs are developed in view of ultra-sensitive high dynamic range passive starring arrays, active 2D/3D and dual-mode passive-active imaging, which is why both the passive imaging performance and the gain characteristics of the APDs are of interest. A passive mode responsivity operability of 99.9% was measured in LPE and MBE e-APDs FPAs associated with an average NETD=12mK, demonstrating that dual mode passive-active imaging can be achieved with LETI e-APDs without degradation in the passive imaging performance. The gain and sensitivity performances were measured in test arrays and using a low voltage technology (3.3V) CTIA test pixel designed for 3D active imaging. The CTIA and test arrays measurements yielded comparable results in terms of bias gain dependence (M=100 at V_b=-7V), low excess noise factor (=1.2) and low equivalent input current (I_{eq_in}<1pA). These results validated the low voltage CTIA approach for integrating the current from a HgCdTe e-APD under high bias. The test array measurements demonstrated a relative dispersion below 2% in both MBE and LPE e- APDs for gains higher than M>100, associated with an operability of 99%. The operability at I_{eq_in}<1pA at M=30 was 95%. A record low value of Ieq_in=1fA was estimated in the MBE e-APDs at M=100, indicating the potential for using the MW e-APDs for very low flux applications. The high potential of the MW e-APDS for active imaging was demonstrated by impulse response measurements which yielded a typical rise time lower than 100ps and diffusion limited fall time of 900ps to 5ns, depending on the pixel pitch. This potential was confirmed by the demonstration of a 2ns time of flight (TOF) resolution in the CTIA e-APD 3D pixel. The combined photon and dark current induced equivalent back ground noise at f/8 with a cold band pass filter at λ=1.55μm was 2 electrons rms for an integration time of 50ns.

In this paper we present an overview of the very recent developments of the HgCdTe infrared detector technology developed by CEA-LETI and industrialized by Sofradir in France. Today Sofradir uses in production for more than 15years a very mature, reproducible, well mastered and fully understood, planar n on p ion implanted technology. This process that allows very high yields to be achieved in all infrared bands from SWIR to LWIR uses the very conventional approach of LPE growth of MCT on lattice-matched CdZnTe substrates. Progress in this field is continuous from 20years and has recently leaded to the fabrication of high performance VLWIR FPA (320x256 with cut off wavelengths as high as 20μm). Moreover, thanks to the design of the epitaxial structure and to the substrate removal step MCT FPAs present the unique features to have very high quantum efficiency (above 70%) from the cut off wavelength down to the UV. This effect, which opens new application fields, was recently demonstrated in SWIR 320x256 FPAs with cut off wavelength of 2.5μm. Very high quality FPAs (1280x1024) with pitches as small as 15μm have already been demonstrated last year using the MBE growth of MWIR MCT epilayers on 4 inches germanium substrates, n on p ion implanted photodiodes and the hot welding indium bump hybridization technique. At the same time, with the MBE growth, bicolor and dual band FPAs which uses more complex multi hetero-junctions architectures (both 4 layers npn and 'pseudo planar' structures and extrinsically doped MCT layers) were fabricated with formats of 320x256 and pitches as small as 25μm. A very new area of development concerns avalanche photodiodes (APD) made with MCT. This semiconductor presents a unique feature among all the over semiconductors. Extremely high avalanche gains can be obtained on n on p photodiodes without absolutely any noise excess (F(K)=1): MCT APDs act as perfect amplifiers. These results open new interesting fields of investigation for low flux applications and fast detectors (including hyper spectral imaging and active imaging).

Today, end users require Long Wave (LW) staring arrays to develop new compact IR cameras, and Very Long Wave (VLW) staring arrays to develop high performance applications with broadband detection up to more than 13μm. HgCdTe is the only available material to answer these needs with the same production line. Based on its HgCdTe Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) process that has proven its maturity and reproducibility over the last thirteen years, with for example more than 14,000 288×4 IRFPAs already delivered worldwide, SOFRADIR has been offering for several years 320×256 LW detectors with a cut-off wavelength tuned between 9μm and 12μm depending on the required application. Based on that experience, two new LW HgCdTe products have been developed and are offered since beginning of 2005. For compact LW FLIRs, SOFRADIR offers the VENUS-LW: a higher resolution 25μm pitch 384×288 IDDCA with 0.5W micro cooler, with a cut-off between 9μm and 10μm for a spectral band pass fully satisfying the imagery requirements and for an operational temperature between 77K and 85K (thus enabling the use of a compact low power micro cooler). The manufacturing of this detector relies on the standard HgCdTe production process with the latest uniformity improvements. Following a similar approach and for VLW applications such as spectroscopy or broadband low flux applications, an improved HgCdTe material with optimized LPE and PhotoVoltaic (PV) detector processes, has been developed by SOFRADIR and LETI LIR for cut-off wavelengths above 12μm below 60K, enabling to have very low dark currents compatible with very low flux applications. These high performance low dark current detectors are offered with a standard 30μm pitch 320×256 readout circuit, integrated with a 1 Watt split Stirling cycle cooler enabling to reach the 50K range with very short cool down times. The performances of these new LW and VLW IR detectors are presented in this paper as well as the development trends for LW detectors at SOFRADIR.

Course Instructor

SC732: Infrared FPAs: Cooled and Uncooled Detectors

This course addresses the IR detector field focusing on IRFPAs (IR detector of second generation and third generation). It will provide a broad and useful background on these IR detectors and consists of two parts: one focusing on uncooled detectors (presented by Jean Luc Tissot) and a second dealing with cooled detectors (presented by Philippe Tribolet). For the different types of detectors, the technologies (including newer ones) are briefly described and the state of the art is presented. Main applications and the differences between and advantages of the various types available are also discussed. Finally, guidelines for estimating and choosing IRFPAs are discussed.
