1K x 1K Si:As Impurity Band Conduction (IBC) arrays have been developed by Raytheon Vision Systems for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). These devices are also suitable for other low-background applications. The Si:As IBC detectors have a pixel dimension of 25 μm and respond to infrared radiation between 5 and 28 μm. Detector performance results are discussed, including response and dark current as a function of detector bias and relative spectral response. The features of the matching 1024 x 1024 Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) features are discussed. Noise data from the University of Rochester are shown with the ROIC operating at 7 K. Sensor Chip Assembly (SCA) data are presented showing noise, response uniformity, and dark current. Design details of a companion 1024 x 1024 array suitable for high-background, ground-based astronomy will also be revealed for the first time. This array will have a large well capacity and be capable of high frame rates.
