This development brings the uncooled infrared technology very close to the performance of traditional second generation cooled LWIR detectors, and enables a new range of applications. We demonstrate the use of our Very High Sensitivity (VHS) 25 µm pitch detector with F/2.4, for long range observation systems. We also present the new Wide-Band (WB) detector, where the detector absorption is tuned to both the MWIR and LWIR bands, which is optimal for use in some applications such as situation awareness. Furthermore, in this work we present our 17 μm pitch new family of detectors with different array formats (QVGA, VGA and XGA). These detectors are targeting a wide range of applications, from medium-performance with low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) applications, up to high-performance imaging applications. Keywords: VOx μ-bolometer, 17μm pitch, 25μm pitch, VHS, WB, low SWaP, XGA 1. INTRODUCTION Since the introduction of its first µ-bolometer detector BIRD384 in 2005, SCD has expanded the product portfolio in order to address a wide spectrum of applications. For the well established 25µm pitch family we hold two basic formats (384x288 and 640x480) with several sensitivity grades. The tradeoff is between sensitivity and pixel time constant. Highly unstable platforms may require a relatively short time constant, whereas stable platforms can exploit the superior performance that is accompanied by longer ones. We have demonstrated successfully the use of our Very High Sensitivity (VHS) 25 µm pitch detector with F/2.4, for long range observation systems. Most of the µ-bolometer detectors are optimized to work in the LWIR band, to enable thermal image. For other applications such as situation awareness, we have developed the Wide-Band (WB) detector, where the detector absorption is optimized to both the MWIR and LWIR bands. The 17µm pitch family consists of a 640x480 (VGA) format that was introduced in 2010 [1]. This is the leading candidate for next generation platforms such as Thermal Weapon Sights (TWS), Driver Vision Enhancers (DVE) and other mid range applications. This family is currently being expanded with the High Sensitive (HS) grade and with the addition of two new formats: First, a compact 384x288 (QVGA) version with minimal footprint that will address battery operated Size Weight and Power (SWaP) sensitive applications, and large 1024x768 (XGA) FPA for platforms requiring high resolution and wide Field of View (FOV). Systems based on this array have the potential to compete with older and more complex cooled 2 nd generation scanning arrays, such as MCT-TDI-288x4. The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: In the first part we describe the main features and radiometric performance of three detectors: the VHS detector and its demonstrator, the WB detector and the 17 µm pitch family. In the last part we present TRM3 system simulations comparing the predicted performance of an XGA based system with state of the art 2 nd generation scanning LWIR arrays. It will be shown that similar and even better recognition ranges may be achieved under various system constraints. This is partly due to the recent introduction of the enhanced sensitivity 17µm pixel (HS) that will be described in detail.
2 2. 25µm VHS DETECTOR FOR LONG RANGE APPLICATIONS The development of the 17µm pixel has enabled us to optimize the process for the 25µm technology and to improve the temporal NETD. The latest improvement was achieved by optimizing the membrane structure, enhancing the pixel fill factor on expense of the contact area and reduction of the bolometer critical dimensions. The Very High Sensitivity (VHS) 25 µm pitch FPA, were characterized, providing NETD < F/1, for 30µsec line integration period. The thermal time constant of the pixel is < 20msec, which is suitable for 30Hz frame rate system. In order to validate the mechanical integrity, several samples were packaged and underwent the strongest TWS (Thermal Weapon Sight) environmental tests with full success. These tests included various vibration cycles, mechanical shocks and aggressive thermal cycles. In order to demonstrate the use of the VHS detector for long range application, we designed and integrated a single FOV, long range observation system with F/2.4, IFOV of 79µrad and Clear Aperture of 132mm (Figure 1, right). We have measured (including the lens) NETD < 70mK with VGA detector. The combination of an exceptionally small IFOV and low temporal system NETD enables the recognition of a human and vehicle at fairly large distances, as shown in Figure 1 (left). Figure 1. Right: Schematic of the 25µm VHS F/2.4 system demonstrator, Left: Image from range of 2km 3. WB DETECTOR FOR LWIR AND MWIR Most of the µ-bolometer detectors are optimized to work in the LWIR band, to enable thermal image. For other applications such as situation awareness, we have developed the Wide-Band (WB) detector, where the pixel absorption is tuned to both the MWIR and LWIR bands, as described in the Figure 2. Both detectors (WB and regular LW) have a Germanium window with AR coating. For WB detector the window transmission between 3-14µm is above 90%, and for the standard detectors the window transmission between 8-14µm is above 90%. WB detector can be used as a dual band detector (MWIR and LWIR). This mode enables to benefit from the two bands (without being able to separate the signal from the two bands), LWIR band for thermal images of a scene at ~300K, and MWIR band for detecting specific events in this spectral range. The WB detector can also be used as a MWIR detector, with the addition of hot MWIR filter, at the system level. In this mode the thermal image is relative poor, due to lack of thermal radiation in the MWIR band from targets at 300K.

Pixel absorption: WB pixel,(black, solid) and LW pixel (gray, dash) µM VGA FOR MID RANGE APPLICATIONS The basic architecture of the ROIC was presented elsewhere [2]. Although it follows closely the successful framework of the previous 25 µm pitch designs, the new capabilities of the 0.18µm CMOS process support an internal "coarse NUC" (Compensation) mechanism and a more sophisticated interface management unit. This in turn considerably facilitates the user interface and was implemented in all 3 designs (QVGA, VGA and XGA). One of the key challenges in scaling down the pixel dimensions was to retain the high repeatability and operability of the mature 25 µm product line. The results are shown in Figure 3 where we demonstrate the operability collected for several production batches consisting of close to 600 VGA detectors. The majority of the detectors reside above 99.9%, which is also the typical value for our 25µm production line [3] Number of FPA Operabolity [%] Figure 3. 17µm VGA detector operability statistics (600 detectors). Another important aspect is the ability to operate the detector with TEC-LESS or "Power Save" mode [4]. In Figure 4 we show the variation of the NETD as a function of FPA temperature. The behavior is relatively smooth with a plateau
4 below 40 0 C, the plateau continues even for lower FPA temperatures. For higher FPA temperatures there is some deterioration which is due mainly to the increased contribution of the ROIC floor noise. Still, even at 70 0 C the NETD is lower than 60mK. Since its launching the detector was successfully integrated into various video engines and cameras providing state of the art performance [5] NETD [mk] FPA Temperature [ o C] Figure 4, Median temporal NETD (F/1, 60Hz) vs. FPA temperature In the past year special effort was devoted to the improvement of the temporal NETD or SNR of the 17µm pitch pixel. This was achieved via pixel architecture and process modifications, and the outcome is the 17µm High Sensitive (HS) pixel. In Figure 5 we demonstrate the temporal NETD distribution measured for F/1 optics at the frame rate of 60Hz. The peak of the distribution is around 23mk for the HS version and 40mk for the standard detector version. The HS penalty is manifested in a longer time constant, but due to the relatively low thermal capacitance it is still below 12msec [6]. 3.5 x Counts Counts NETD[mK] NETD[mK] Figure 5.

5 5. 17µM QVGA FOR LOW "SWaP" APPLICATIONS In this section we describe the next product of the 17 µm family that is currently in the final stages of development. It is a compact 384x288 (QVGA) version with a ceramic package and minimal footprint. This detector will address the fast growing segment of low SWaP battery operated applications (e.g. goggles, miniature weapon sights, etc.). The target specification is summarized in Table 1. The main design goals are as follows: Size: small package footprint (roughly 20x20 cm 2 ) Weight < 10 gram Power: TEC-LESS operation with power dissipation lower than 60Hz Affordable for mid-end and high volume applications Special attention was devoted to size and weight reduction. The reduction was achieved by several means. Transformation to a ceramic package allows for lower pitch between the pins. We have also eliminated the need for a vacuum pipe and pumping will be done in an especially designed vacuum assembly machine. The package height was reduced as well due to the elimination of the TEC. The reduced weight compared with a metallic package is important for various applications. The package is shown in Figure 6.

6 Figure 6, BIRD384/17µm package (left), compared to BIRD640/17µm metalic package (right) Based on our current, rest array characterization results we predict a temporal NETD better than F/1, 120Hz. The maximum frame rate is 100 (120 for 320x240) Hz with a single video output, and 200 (240) Hz with 2 video lines. This is an important feature for some applications that demand high frame rates (e.g. MWS). The product will also utilize the advantages of the advanced 0.18um CMOS technology in terms of power and flexibility. The "TEC-LESS" performance is based on the superior uniformity of the VO x process and the small deviation of the temporal NETD with FPA temperature as depicted in Figure µm XGA DETECTOR FOR LONG RANGE SIGHTS Long range sights or targeting systems are extremely demanding due to the combination of high spatial resolution, low temporal NETD and a wide enough field of view. For practical systems it is very difficult to support these constraints simultaneously: high resolution (small IFOV) translates into a large focal length, whereas low system NETD limits the f- number. As will be shown in the next section, if we limit the system clear aperture to a reasonable diameter (e.g. 120mm) the f-number should be at least 1.5 and even higher in order to provide high enough focal length and resolution. Such a high f-number is challenging for micro Bolometer technology in terms of sensitivity. For this purpose SCD is developing an XGA (1024x768) FPA based on the 17µm HS pixel technology. Table 2 summarizes the preliminary specification of this detector. It follows closely the existing ROIC architecture (including internal compensation) with the necessary adjustments that are due to the larger format. The improved pixel design (HS) supports a temporal NETD lower than F/1, 30Hz which is extremely aggressive compared with current state of the art detectors [7]. In order to asses the expected performance of the XGA detector, the existing BIRD640/17µm detector was integrated into a demonstration camera with 210mm focal length and F/1.4 optics. Proprietary algorithms were employed in order to maintain the spatial noise (RNU) below the temporal noise. Some representative images are shown in Figure 7. The combination of an exceptionally small IFOV of 80µRad and temporal system NETD of roughly 60mK enables the recognition of a human and cattle at fairly large distances. The product is currently in the final stages of design.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE SIMULATIONS The XGA detector has the potential to replace or upgrade existing cooled LWIR scanning systems. In order to validate this assumption, we have performed TRM3 [8] system simulations comparing the expected performance of the uncooled XGA 17µm with state of the art 288x4 MCT TDI scanning arrays. The requirements and system constraints are as follows: NATO target: 2.3m X 2.3m ΔT (Target-Background) = 2 C
8 Atmosphere Extinction coefficient = (variable) Optical aperture = 120mm (system constraint) Table 3 summarizes the system parameters for the XGA and typical SADAII 288x 4 Time Delayed Integration (TDI) cameras. Both systems are assumed to operate at 30Hz frame rate. For the sake of comparison we assume identical optical transmission (approximately 80%) and display properties. Detector Parameter 2 nd Gen MCT TDI 288 X 4 Uncooled XGA F-number Detector Pixel 28 x 25 µm 17 x 17 µm Focal length 225 mm 200 mm IFOV 110 µrad 85 µrad FOV x x Spectral Range µm 8 14 µm Table 3, System parameters used in the TRM3 calculation The TRM3 calculation results for the systems described in Table 3 are shown in Figure 8. We present the target recognition range as a function of atmospheric extinction for the µ-bolometer XGA and MCT TDI 288x 4 array respectively. The global RNU is assumed to be 70% of the NETD. This is a remarkable challenge for µ-bolometer systems and requires special image processing algorithms [9]. These simulations show that under a wide range of atmospheric conditions the XGA performs better than the TDI 288x4. The margin diminishes for poorer atmospheric conditions. The XGA detector also supports a considerably larger FOV which is extremely important for high end applications. Another important segment is remote weapon stations where we consider human recognition. In this case the target size is 0.5m x 1.6m with ΔT = 5 0 C. Figure 9 presents the calculated recognition range for a 120mm aperture. The range is slightly above 1Km and as expected is hardly affected by atmospheric conditions. In conclusion, high-end µ-bolometer systems hold a great potential for replacing or upgrading 2 nd generation cooled scanning systems. The introduction of µ-bolometer technology should reduce dramatically the "cost of ownership" of such systems and as a result increase their proliferation. 5 Recognition Range [Km] XGA TDI 288x Atmospheric Extinction [1/Km] Figure 8.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS In this paper we have described SCD's state of the art micro-bolometer VO x uncooled detector arrays. We presented the VGA 25µm pitch VHS detector and the F/2.4 demonstrator with performance of traditional second generation cooled LWIR detectors. The WB detector is ideal for applications such as situation awareness, where MWIR signal detection is important. We have presented the main features and performance of three new detectors that cover a wide range of applications: 17µm VGA for mid range TWS and HH systems, 17µm QVGA for low SWaP applications, and 17µm XGA format for long-range large FOV sights. In the last part we have presented TRM3 simulations comparing the expected system performance of an XGA µ- Bolometer detector with 2nd generation scanning MCT LWIR 288x4 TDI arrays. The calculations show that similar recognition ranges maybe achieved under various system constraints. Hence, high-end µ-bolometer systems have the potential for upgrading 2nd generation scanning systems, with all the cost and reliability related benefits. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The development of the detector was supported by the Israeli Ministry of Trade & Industry (MOITAL) and Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMoD).
