Scientific paper

Large area focal plane arrays of unprecedented performance were developed for use in Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS), a proposed Hubble Space Telescope refurbishment instrument. These FPAs are 128x128-element, HgCdTe hybrid arrays with a cutoff wavelength of 2.5 microns. The multiplexer consists of a CMOS field effect transistor switch array with a typical mean readout noise of less than 30 electrons. The detectors typically have a mean dark current of less than 10 electrons/s at 77 K, with currents below 2 electrons measured at 60 K (both at 0.5 V reverse bias). The mean quantum efficiency is 40 to 60 percent at 77 K for 1.0 to 2.4 microns. Functional pixel yield is typically greater than 99 percent, and the power consumption is approximately 0.2 mW (during readout only).
