High-performance CMOS buffered gate modulation input (BGMI) readoutcircuits for IR FPA

A new CMOS current readout structure for the infrared (IR) focal-plane-array (FPA), called the buffered gate modulation input (BGMI) circuit, is proposed in this paper. Using the technique of unbalanced current mirror, the new BGMI circuit can achieve high charge sensitivity with adaptive current gain control and good immunity from threshold-voltage variations. Moreover, the readout dynamic range can be significantly increased by using the threshold-voltage-independent current-mode background suppression technique. To further improve the readout performance, switch current integration techniques, shared-buffer biasing technique, and dynamic charging output stage with the correlated double sampling circuit are also incorporated into the BGMI circuit. An experimental 128×128 BGMI readout chip has been designed and fabricated in 0.8 μm double-poly-double-metal (DPDM) n-well CMOS technology. The measurement results of the fabricated readout chip under 77 K and 5 V supply voltage have successfully verified both readout function and performance improvement. The fabricated chip has the maximum charge capacity of 9.5×10⁷ electrons, the transimpedance of 2.5×10⁹ Ω at 10 nA background current, and the arrive power dissipation of 40 mW. The uniformity of background suppression currents can be as high as 99%. Thus, high injection efficiency, high charge sensitivity, large dynamic range, large storage capacity, and low noise can be achieved In the BGMI circuit with the pixel size of 50×50 μm². These advantageous characteristics make the BCMI circuit suitable for various IR FPA readout applications with a wide range of background currents

New dark current suppression CMOS readout circuit with novel CDS structure for large format QWIP FPA

A new Dark Current Suppression (DCS) CMOS readout circuits for large format Quantum-Well-Infrared Photo-detector (QWIP) Focal-Plane-Array (FPA) with novel CorrelatedDouble-Sampling (CDS) structure based on dynamic source-follower are proposed, which can overcome the drawbacks of the present techniques, such as sensitive to the non-uniformity of the QWIP materials, poor readout noise features, low frame frequency, limited injection efficiency and dynamic range, etc. The dummy is adopted to realize dark current suppression, while the cascode current mirror (with current ratio of 1:10) can increase charge sensitivity and reduce integration time. Through the novel CDS structure, the output waveform is boxcar, and the frame frequency is increased. Simulation results demonstrate that, in high background sense, the proposed DCS circuit can suppress the dark current, achieve good readout performance, such as low power consumption, high charge sensitivity, high resolution, large dynamic range, and insensitive to the non-uniformity of the QWIP materials.
