Abstract

This paper discusses the features of the design and organization of silicon multiplexers for linear and array-type IR photodetectors. These have been used as a basis for developing nineteen silicon multiplexers intended for combined operation with multielement photodiode detectors based on mercury-cadmium tellurium compound, with multielement photoresistive detectors based on multilayer quantum-well structures, and other types of photodetectors having spectral sensitivity in the 3-5 and 8-16-μm ranges. The multiplexers can be used as a basis for creating hybrid and monolithic photodetectors of various formats for the mid- and far-IR regions with fairly good temperature resolution (<0.02K).
