US Patent:

40095169, Mar 1, 1977

Filed:

Mar 29, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/671913

Inventors:

Alice M. Chiang - Framingham MA
Brian W. Denley - Melrose MA
Richard L. Schapker - North Andover MA

Assignee:

Honeywell Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

H01L 3700

US Classification:

29592

Abstract:

Pyroelectric detectors are mounted on a substrate having a plurality of wax-filled cavities. The wax is then dissolved to provide a low thermal loss mounting structure for the detectors.

Appl. No.:

5/842444

Inventors:

Alice M. Chiang - Weston MA
Brian W. Denley - Melrose MA
Jeffrey C. Gelpey - Peabody MA

Assignee:

Honeywell Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

H01L 3300
H01L 21205
H01L 2714

US Classification:

148 15

Abstract:

An ultraviolet sensitive photodiode is formed in a body of first conductivity type GaP. A region of second conductivity type with a graded impurity distribution is formed in the body, and a thin layer (preferably about 100A to 300A) is then removed from the front surface of the body. The removal of the thin layer significantly enhances the performance of the UV sensitive photodiode.

International Classification:

G01J 506

US Classification:

250352

Abstract:

A cold shield for an array of detectors of predetermined shape comprising a first cover of radiation blocking material formed with parallel rows of apertures and lying a first distance away from the detectors and a second cover of radiation blocking material formed with a plurality of apertures of generally the predetermined shape therethrough and lying a second distance, smaller than the first distance, away from the detectors so as to minimize background radiation from reaching the detectors while permitting desired radiation approaching the array from any of a plurality of angles to reach the detectors.
