Research abstract

The long read time, low data-rate and constrained dynamic-range of analog ROICs limits LWIR sensor performance.An analog ROIC output signal is susceptible to noise requiring added shielding and additional electronics for subsequent signal processing.Digital readout integrated circuits (DROICs) using in-pixel processing and an all-digital readout which can mitigate some of these limitations, but requires elaborate 3D through silicon processing and is constrained in dynamic range and frame rates. QIE proposes a infrared (IR) readout integrated circuit (ROIC) technology, that is three dimensional (3-D) and will enable large format, high sensitivity, high resolution, large dynamic range, large field of view (FOV), and fast data rate dual-band IR focal plane arrays (FPAs) at low cost for missile defense applications.
