  • Abstract
    A 64 × 64-element silicon monolithic infrared MOS area imager (IR-MOS) with platinum silicide Schottky barrier (PtSi S.B.) detectors has been developed. Using MOS X-Y address circuitry, the fill facter of the device increased to 56 percent without degradation of the dynamic range. The dynamic range was 48 dB The responsivity was 2.9\\times10^{8} V/W at 1000 K and the sensitivity was 10.5 mV/K at 300 K. The performance of the IR-MOS was sufficient to obtain a thermal image in the range of the 3 to 5 µm atmospheric window without any electrical compensation of the imaged signal.
