  • Cryogenic radiation detector with high-density conductor array
    Patent number: 4451735
    Abstract: A detector for infrared radiation, having a multicell photosensor disposed at the top of a cold finger in an evacuated container, comprises a stack of annular ceramic layers coaxially surrounding the cold finger and serving as supports for several arrays of radially extending metallic strips screen-printed on respective layers in angularly offset relationship. The metallic strips are conductively connected to respective cells of the sensor to serve as output leads thereof. The conductive connections include axially extending metal pins spacedly surrounding the cold finger while being linked with the sensor cells by short, thin wires spanning an intervening annular gap.

  • Process to obtain multielement linear bidimensional infrared detectors having improved exactness of geometry and high degree of integration
    Patent number: 4312115
    Abstract: An improved method for use in fabricating individual semiconductor radiation detectors on a chip is characterized by forming generally V-shaped grooves converging toward one another from opposite sides of the chip into the thickness dimension thereof. The grooves meet within the chip and serve to separate individual detectors.
