SCA Test Report: H4RG-20849 WFIRST

This report summarizes the measured performance for the Sensor Chip Assembly (SCA), which is identified in Table 1. The SCA architecture is a substrate-removed HgCdTe detector with an area of 4096x4096 pixels (with a reference pixel area of four pixels deep around all four sides, available to substitute corresponding image pixels) and a pixel pitch of 10 μm. This SCA has been tested at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC/NASA) Detector Characterization Laboratory (DCL). Teledyne (the vendor) classifies its detectors into different grades based on testing performed at its facility. The classification of this SCA and the tested dates are included in Table 1 below. The tests performed on this array are derived from the document WFIRST-PROC-09220_WFIRST-SCA-ATP_-.docx. A summary of the test parameters, requirements, and test results is presented in Table 2. The details of each test are subsequently described in the report. In the Summary (Table 2), SCA results are reported at an operating temperature of 95K, and 1.0 V bias voltage. In the detailed section of each test, the results for 95 K and 0.5V bias voltage is also reported. For all cases, the frame time used is 2.764 seconds. Reference pixel correction was applied to every raw frame.
