Description

A kind of capable gating circuit of infrared focal plane array
Technical field
The present invention relates to microelectronics and photoelectron technology field, be specifically related to the capable gating circuit of infrared focal plane array in a kind of infrared imaging system.
Background technology
Infrared focal plane array seeker is a kind of detector of detectable target infrared radiation; Converting the Temperature Distribution of target object to video image through means such as opto-electronic conversion, electric signal processing, is that a kind of light harvesting, sophisticated technology such as mechanical, electrical are in the high-tech product of one.It has that strong, the hidden performance of antijamming capability is good, tracking, guidance precision advantages of higher, has obtained to use widely in the military and civilian field.
The micro-metering bolometer focal-plane array (FPA) has higher sensitivity, is most widely used a kind of non-refrigerate infrared focal plane array seeker.Its principle of work is that thermo-sensitive material absorbs temperature change behind the infrared radiation of incident, thereby causes the variation of self-resistance value, the size of the change detection infrared radiation signal through measuring its resistance value.The semi-girder micro-bridge structure that micro-metering bolometer generally adopts micromachining technology to make; Bridge floor deposits the thermo-sensitive material that one deck has high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR); Bridge floor has excellent mechanical performances by two and is coated with the bridge leg support of conductive material; The contact point of bridge leg and substrate is a bridge pier, and bridge pier is electrically connected on the silicon sensing circuit (ROIC) under the micro-metering bolometer FPA.Through bridge leg and bridge pier, thermo-sensitive material is connected in the electricity passage of sensing circuit, forms one to responsive to temperature and be connected to the pixel cell on the sensing circuit.
For satisfying the military and civilian needs, the main development trend of non-refrigerated infrared detector is further reduced volume, increases resolution, reduces power consumption and cost etc., wherein, enlarges pel array, reduces the focus that Pixel Dimensions becomes infrared focal plane array research.The early 1990s, Honeywell company has reported the micro-metering bolometer FPA of 320 * 240 pixels, and pixel dimension is 50 * 50 μ m 2The thermal imaging system U3000 of 320 * 240 pixels of U.S. DRS technology company development, Pixel Dimensions is 51 * 51 μ m 2, calendar year 2001 is succeeded in developing the thermal imaging system U6000 that 640 * 480 focal planes are core, and Pixel Dimensions is 25.4 * 25.4 μ m 2, and in May, 2002 this thermal imaging system is demonstrated; Raytheon company has succeeded in developing 640 * 480 pixels at present, and pixel dimension is 25 * 25 μ m 2, the said firm is developing pixel dimension 20 * 20 μ m 2, the IRFPA of 640 * 512 arrays.
Small size, big array are the directions of high-performance infrared focal plane detector development.Yet; When reducing Pixel Dimensions, the bridge pier that the supporting bridge leg of micro-metering bolometer and conduct are connected with sensing circuit electricity, area can not equal proportion reduce usually; Thereby cause comparing the large scale pixel; Its effective infrared absorption area dutycycle reduces, and the explorer response rate reduces, and performance descends.For this reason; Infrared focal plane array has developed the structure of the adjacent microbridge units shared of a kind of same column bridge pier; Pixel cell uses typical semi-girder micro-bridge structure in this array; Two adjacent microbridge unit respectively have a bridge leg to be connected to jointly on the bridge pier in the same column, and a bridge leg of another bridge leg of microbridge unit and another adjacent microbridge unit is connected on second bridge pier jointly, and the N of an every row pixel cell only needs N+1 bridge pier to get final product.Compare each pixel cell of traditional focal plane arrays (FPA) and independently use two bridge piers; Each row has reduced the use of N-1 bridge pier; Thereby improved pixel infrared absorption useful area dutycycle; Make increasing pel array, when reducing Pixel Dimensions, still keep the explorer response rate in higher level.This infrared focal plane array structure needs corresponding with it capable gating circuit, accomplishes reading each picture element signal.Traditional a kind of capable gating circuit is that each pixel cell uses two gating switches controls, and pixel cell of each gating switch control needs 2N gating switch to N pixel cell of every row.On the one hand, gating switch is many more, and the non-ideal factor of introducing is just big more, and the chip area that under pel array, takies simultaneously is just big more, especially comparatively obvious under the small-sized pixel array; On the other hand, do not had short circuit by the pixel cell of gating, the spurious charge on the pixel cell etc. may be to being exerted an influence by the read output signal on the gating pixel cell.
