Defect Reduction at the Silicon (112) Wafer Surface by Amorphization and Recrystallization
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: MDA11T002Silicon wafers oriented on (112) are the preferred substrates for deposition of mercury cadmium telluride layers by molecular beam epitaxy. Surface defects introduced during polishing of the wafers degrade the quality of the epitaxy and the performance of infrared detectors fabricated within these materials. We propose a process for reducing the density of the defects that are inherent in the si ...

The Use of Hydrogen for Defect Reduction in Large Format Infrared Detector Materials
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: MDA11T002Active defects negatively impact the performance of IRFPAs by increasing noise at various levels up to, and including, catastrophic degradation. Evidence indicates that"killer defects"are related to the interaction of open core screw dislocations with impurities that remain after substrate preparation, prior to HgCdTe growth. This impurity diffusion creates a conducting channel that shorts the j ...

High Operability HgCdTe Focal Plane Arrays on Si by Mitigation of Defects
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: MDA11T002For HgCdTe infrared focal plane arrays fabricated on Si substrates, a model has recently been proposed to account for the disparity between the density of failed pixels and the density of dislocations that are present in the HgCdTe junction region. The model distinguishes between active and inactive dislocations and offers a hypothesis that dislocations are active only when they intersect particul ...

High-Speed Three-Channel Photonic Time Delay Unit
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: MDA08T012An innovative, super-miniature, fast-switching array-based photonic time delay device is being developed for the active electronically scanned-array (AESA) MDA and Navy radars. The design is based on the fast electro-optic effect, the super miniature fiber-lens collimation array, and the existing WDM photonic true time delay technologies. In Phase I Agiltron has successfully demonstrated the core ...

Stratospheric Electrical Environments Applicable To Photovoltaic Arrays On HAA Platforms
SBC: LIGHTNING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: MDA04T008The objective of this program is to characterize the upper atmosphere electrical environment so that the effects of this environment on high altitude airships (HAA) and other platforms intending to operate in this environment can be determined, and protection methods developed. This includes transient luminous events (TLEs), such as red sprites and blue jets and their associated electrical propert ...

Design and Development of Radiation Hardened ROIC for Multi-color LWIR/VLWIR Focal Plane Arrays
SBC: MAGNOLIA OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: MDA05T009Radiation Hardened Multi-color infrared (IR) focal planes are required for MDA/SMDC systems applications . Key to meeting these system requirements is to develop multi-color radiation hardened HgCdTe focal plane arrays for LWIR band ( 7-14 microns) and VLWIR band with wavelength of greater than 14 microns with high pixel uniformity, reduced readout noise, improved resolution, and higher temperatur ...

Full-spectrum Integrated Reaction Evaluation and Synthesis (FIRES)
SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES, INC Topic: MDA05T017Highly energetic chemical processes play a central role in many military and commercial applications. For example, spectral emissions from missile plumes, arising from high-velocity chemical interactions of exhaust gases with the atmosphere, are used to detect, track, and identify threat targets. Detailed, quantitative knowledge of the energy-dependent chemical reaction cross sections and rates i ...
