Abstract: Multicolor, stacked detector devices, focal plane arrays including multicolor, stacked detector devices, and methods of fabricating the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a stacked multicolor detector device includes a first detector and a second detector. The first detector includes a first detector structure and a first ground plane adjacent the first detector structure. The second detector includes a second detector structure and a second ground plane adjacent the second detector structure. At least one of the first ground plane and the second ground plane is transmissive to radiation in a predetermined spectral band. The first detector and the second detector are in a stacked relationship.

Abstract: Methods of fabricating multicolor, stacked detector devices and focal plane arrays are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of fabricating a stacked multicolor device includes forming a first detector by depositing a first detector structure on a first detector substrate, and depositing a first ground plane on the first detector structure, wherein the first ground plane is transmissive to radiation in a predetermined spectral band. The method further includes bonding an optical carrier wafer to the first ground plane, removing the first detector substrate, and forming a second detector. The second detector is formed by depositing a second detector structure on a second detector substrate, and depositing a second ground plane on the second detector structure. The method further includes depositing a dielectric layer on one of the first detector structure and the second ground plane, bonding the first detector to the second detector, and removing the second detector substrate.
