| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To search higher redshift galaxies which can not be detected by an optical CCD sensor, we have improved the readout noise of a commercially available Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) small format near-infrared image sensor which is manufactured by a domestic company. Large format InGaAs sensors with a smaller pixel size have also been fabricated, which format is suitable with a near-infrared wide field camera.
The readout noise of the small format sensor achieved 22 e-, and the dark current fell under 0.1 e-/sec/pixel. Large format 1280×1280 arrays with 15um pixel size was successfully fabricated with a small amount of bad pixels, however, the readout performance was slightly degraded.
