Abstract
Line integration 384 × 288 Focal Plane Array (FPA) consists of HgCdTe (MCT) photodiodes array formed in the mercury cadmium telluride p-type epitaxial layers grown both by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Grown by these methods MCT layers have multilayer compound structure. Silicon readout integration circuit (ROIC) performs the photocurrents integration during one line signals output (one row of pixels) period, and signals multiplexing in two output channels from the focal plane. The photodiodes array pitch in each direction is 28 μm. The influence of MCT surface irregularities and imperfections of MCT epitaxial layers on number of defective elements is investigated.
