256×1 element linear InGaAs short wavelength near-infrared detector arrays

256×1 element linear InGaAs detector arrays assembly have been fabricated for the short wave infrared band(0.9~1.7μm), including the detector, CMOS readout circuits, thermoelectric cooler in a sealed package. The InGaAs detectors were achieved by mesa structure on the p-InP/i-InGaAs/n-InP double hetero-structure epitaxial material. 256×1 element linear InGaAs detectors were wire-bonded to 128×1 element odd and even ROIC, which were packaged in a dual-in-line package by parallel sealing. The characteristics of detectors and detector arrays module were investigated at the room temperature. The detector shows response peak at 1.62μm with 50% cutoff wavelength of 1.73μm and average R0A with 5.02KΩ•cm2. Response non-uniformity and average peak detectivity of 256×1 element linear InGaAs detector arrays are 3.10% and 1.38×1012cmHz1/2/W, respectively.
