Quick cooldown/low distortion hybrid focal plane array platform for use in infrared detector dewar packages.

摘要

A radiation detector assembly (20) includes a radiation detector (2), a silicon readout device (3) coupled to the radiation detector (2), and a platform (13) for supporting from a first major surface (13a) the readout device (3) and the radiation detector (2). A second major surface (13b) includes a boss (14) for coupling, via an active brazing operation, to a cryogenic cooler (10). The platform (13) is a monolithic structure comprised of Aluminum Nitride (AlN). <IMAGE>
