Experimental performances and Monte Carlo modelling of LWIR HgCdTe avalanche photodiodes
We report the performances of LWIR (λc = 9.0 μm at 80K) HgCdTe electron injected avalanche photodiodes (e-APD). In these devices, the exponential gain curve, up to gains equal to 23 at 100K, and the low excess noise factor close to unity (F ~ 1-1.25) are indicative of a single carrier multiplication process, which is electron impact ionization. The dark current is mainly due to a diffusion curr...
متن کاملAnalysis of Crosstalk in HgCdTe based Vertical Photoconductive LWIR Detector Arrays
HgCdTe is a well known material for Infrared detection applications because of its special properties like high absorption coefficient, adjustable bandgap and moderate dielectric constant etc. Vertical PC detectors of HgCdTe are very easy to fabricate as compared to the other detectors with the desired uniformity and therefore, these detectors may be proved better choice if the cost and the yie...
متن کاملDesign of a ROIC for Scanning Type HgCdTe LWIR Focal Plane Arrays
Design of a silicon readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for LWIR HgCdTe Focal Plane is presented. ROIC incorporates time delay integration (TDI) functionality over seven elements with a supersampling rate of three, increasing SNR and the spatial resolution. Novelty of this topology is inside TDI stage; integration of charges in TDI stage implemented in current domain by using switched current str...
متن کاملRadioactivity in HgCdTe devices: potential source of “snowballs”
We hypothesize that the “snowballs” observed in HgCdTe infrared detectors are caused by natural radioactivity in the devices themselves. As characterized by Hilbert (2009) in the WFC3 flight IR array (FPA165), “snowballs” are transient events that instantaneously saturate a few pixels and deposit a few hundred thousand electrons over a ~5-pixel (~100-um) diameter region. In 2008, prior to fligh...
متن کاملCode Layout as a Source of Noise in JVM Performance
We describe the effect of a particular form of “noise” in benchmarking. We investigate the source of anomalous measurement data in a series of optimization strategies that attempt to improve data cache performance in the garbage collector of a Java virtual machine. The results of our experiments can be explained in terms of the difference in code positioning, and hence instruction and data cach...
