Research abstract
This proposal describes a revolutionary advancement for space based sensing applications. The research work performed under this SBIR will allow for very large focal plane arrays (FPAs) to be manufactured at reduced costs by a special new technological advancement which will substantially reduce the costs of Read Out Integrated Circuits (ROICs) for these very large focal plane arrays. This new advancement will decrease technical risk and improve producibility of very large format FPAs (for 2048 x 2048 pixels, 30 um or smaller pitch). This technology would also reduce cost significantly for 3072 x 3072 pixel FPAs and larger future generation very large FPAs.
