    Abstract: A method of assembling a photodetector assembly includes depositing bumps on a read out integrated circuit (ROIC) without depositing bumps on a photodiode array (PDA). The method includes assembling the PDA and ROIC together wherein each bump electrically interconnects the ROIC with a respective contact of the PDA. A photodetector assembly includes a PDA. A ROIC is assembled to the PDA, wherein the ROIC is electrically interconnected with the PDA through a plurality of electrically conductive bumps. Each bump is confined within a respective pocket between the ROIC and a respective contact of the PDA. The disclosed methods can enable focal plane array manufacturers to achieve low-cost production of ultra-fine pitch, large format imaging arrays.

    Abstract: A method of forming bump structures for interconnecting components includes dry etching a layer of insulating material to create a pattern for bump structures. A seed layer is deposited on the insulating material over the pattern. The seed layer is patterned with a photo resist material. The method also includes forming bump structures over the seed layer and the photo resist material with a plating material to form bump structures in the pattern, wherein the bump structures are isolated from one another.

    Abstract: A method of forming an array of photodiodes includes forming a cap layer on a surface of an absorption layer. The method includes forming a plurality of spaced apart pixel diffusion areas in the cap layer. The method includes forming a mesa trench with opposed sidewalls through the cap layer, wherein the mesa trench surrounds each of the pixel diffusion areas separating the pixel diffusion areas from one another. The method includes forming a sidewall passivation layer over the sidewalls of the mesa trench and removing a portion of the sidewall passivation layer to expose a respective contact electrically connected to each of the pixel diffusion areas, but leaving the sidewalls of the mesa trench covered with the sidewall passivation layer wherein the contact is open and uncovered for electrical connection.

    Abstract: A photodiode includes an absorption layer. A cap layer is disposed on a surface of the absorption layer. A pixel diffusion area within the cap layer extends beyond the surface of the absorption layer and into the absorption layer to receive a charge generated from photons therefrom. A mesa trench is defined through the cap layer surrounding the pixel diffusion area, wherein the mesa trench defines a floor at the surface of the absorption layer and opposed sidewalls extending away from the surface of the absorption layer. An implant is aligned with the mesa trench and extends from the floor of the mesa trench through the absorption layer surrounding a portion of the absorption layer proximate the pixel diffusion area.
