his research thesis describes a new ;Each element of the focal plane array consisted of a 13 x 500 um;A unique and novel Si read-out multiplexer was designed and fabricated using radiation hardened N-well CMOS process. Each multiplexer unit cell consisted of a capacitive transimpedance amplifier, correlated double sampling circuit, threshold nonuniformity correction circuit and an output buffer stage.;Integration and testing of InGaAs focal plane arrays with cut-off wavelengths of 1.7... |
