Abstract

Existing Infrared IRFPA models lack simplicity for setting up the detector's architecture/structure and lack continuity between IR detector material, IR detector processes, detector architecture, and detector operation. The models also lack the ability to reveal spatially and quantitatively the full impact of the detector's material, process and architecture on IRFPA performance. This paper will discuss the development of a new IRFPA computer model which is used to simulate existing and future IRFPA's with enhanced quantitative and visual information that allow the device engineer to access the impact of material quality, processing procedures and IR detector architecture on IRFPA performance in the SWIR-VLWIR region. This new model will be combined with statistical simulation to provide high IRFPA performance and lowest cost.
