Abstract
An infrared imaging device is made by SIP chip growth technology to form an array of extrinsic silicon infrared detectors on an insulating layer which is on one side of an infrared-transparent polysilicon layer. A perforated mask is on the opposite side of the polysilicon layer. The detectors each have the shape of a frustum of a right rectangular pyramid. During processing of the chip for detectors, charge coupled devices (CCDs) are also made on the chip. These CCD's are indirectly connected to respective detectors and to readout lines on the chip.
