Crosstalk mitigation and small-pitch consequences in SWIR InGaAs FPAs
Abstract:
A consistent trend in infrared imaging systems is a drive towards smaller pixel pitches in focal plane arrays. In this work, we present an extensive numerical study on how dark current, quantum efficiency, and modulation transfer function are affected when reducing the pixel pitch in SWIR InGaAs pixel arrays. From the results, we propose the introduction of diffusion control junctions into the pixel sub-architecture to lower dark current and improve modulation transfer function, with a minor decrease in specific detectivity.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
