Study of Infrared Solid State Imagers Using Charge Transport Devices.
Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is two fold. The first was to develop a fabrication procedure for a MIS device for infrared imaging. TiO2 insulator would provide large storage capacity for the IV-VI semiconductor, PbTe. Although a complete device wasn't fabricated, significant progress was made in identifying the desirable characteristics and in relative merits of several different approaches. The second part involves a system study comparing the infrared vidicon with CTD's to determine the feasibility of solid state imaging. By comparing these systems it was found that solid state imaging is feasible with improvement schemes such as background suppression and using read only memory or automatic gain control to overcome nonuniformities.
