Strained Layer Superlattices (SLS) Technology

Abstract

This effort investigates and improves III-V material (materials formed by a combination of elements from group III and V of the periodic table) thin film crystal growth of IR FPAs using a very flexible Strained Layer Superlattice (SLS), structure which will allow high performance multiband IR FPAs to be produced at much lower costs than the existing II-VI FPAs with improved uniformity due to leveraging of III-V material and process investments used for commercial products to include cell phone chips. This effort contributes to the U.S. ability to ensure its historical night vision advantage.
