Facebook X LinkedIn Email
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. & HSINCHU, Taiwan, August 26 -- Rockwell Scientific Co. LLC (RSC) and UMC announced they have developed the HAWAII-2RG, a readout integrated circuit (ROIC) designed by RSC and fabricated by UMC based on its mixed-mode CMOS process and precision stitching technique. The project was funded by the NASA Ames Research Center through a contract with the University of Hawaii. The 40 mm x 40 mm chip is being used with infrared detectors developed by RSC to produce astronomy focal plane arrays (FPAs) with a base resolution of 4.2 million pixels and mosaic resolution of 16.8...Read full article
