Monolithic Integration of Semiconductor and Superconductor Components.

Abstract

The objective of the contract was to conduct research to integrate semiconductor electronics with infrared sensors based upon high transition temperature superconducting microbolometers to make a 16 pixel (4x4) two- dimensional infrared staring array. This technology should enable us to eventually fabricate large area, high performance IR arrays using conventional silicon IC processing technology for cost-effective systems. Deliverables included quarterly reports, this final report, and a 16 pixel (4x4) two- dimensional superconducting microbolometer array including transistor switches at the pixels and drive electronics mounted in a Dewar. All items were delivered.
