A JFET amplified InSb infrared detector array for astronomical observation in space has been developed that can be operated at liquid helium temperature. This detector array utilizes 24-channel InSb photodiodes, 1 x 0.5 mm per element, having low junction capacitance for noise reduction. The amplifier circuit is designed as a hybrid IC having a 24-channel charge integration amplifier array. Since this JFET amplifier circuit cannot function at liquid helium temperature, it is suspended from the frame employing aramid wires and heated to approximately 70 K by a built-in heater. It is shown that the detector array attains readout noise of about 100 e and that this noise level is low enough for use in space astronomical observation.
