Deformable focal plane array |
| 摘要 |
A deformable focal plane array (DFPA) for imaging systems is disclosed. In one embodiment, the DFPA includes a detection circuitry on one side. For example, the thickness of the DFPA is in a range of about 5 to 40 microns. In one exemplary embodiment, the DFPA when warped to a desired shape provides a substantially wider field of view (FOV) than a flat focal plane array (FPA). |

1. A method for making a deformable focal plane array (DFPA), comprising:
thinning a commercially available flat focal plane array (FPA) into the DFPA; and warping the DFPA into a desired shape selected from the group consisting of spherical, hemispherical, parabolic, elliptical, rectangular, and conical, wherein warping the DFPA into the desired shape comprises:
warping the DFPA into the desired shape by applying a vacuum. |
