Phase I

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: ----    Completed: ----
Phase I year
2006
Phase I Amount
$99,904
Phase I effort focuses on demonstrating the feasibility of our approach to develop a technology to fabricate large format Multi-Color HgCdTe FPAs. In Phase II, we plan to validate the feasibility established in Phase I with demonstration and delivery of large format two-dimensional arrays hybridized to silicon Read Out Integrated Circuits (ROICs).

Phase II

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: ----    Completed: ----
Phase II year
2007
Phase II Amount
$1,000,000
The principal Phase II objective is to demonstrate and deliver to MDA, small pixel size (~ 30 micrometer) co-located 2-color LWIR/LWIR (8-10/10-12 microns) HgCdTe focal plane arrays in a 512x512 format operating in a simultaneous mode. FPAs to be delivered to MDA will be thoroughly characterized at a range of temperatures of interest to MDA.
