Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of infrared photoelectric detection, in particular to an electrical lead structure of a large-array infrared detector Dewar assembly, which is suitable for electrical lead-out of various large-scale infrared detector assemblies such as large-array and long-line-array infrared detector assemblies. BACKGROUND

[0002] Refrigeration-type infrared detector assemblies are widely used in the field of spaceborne infrared detection, and the detection performance of infrared sensors is an important technical index of high-spatial-resolution infrared remote sensing instruments. With the increasing demand for spaceborne application of infrared photoelectric detector technology and the continuous improvement of infrared detector technology, the scale of infrared detector arrays is continuously expanding, and the structure size is also continuously increasing. The traditional packaging structure of miniature infrared detectors cannot meet the application requirements of large-array infrared detector packaging. Large-array infrared detectors need to be packaged in Dewars and thermally connected with refrigerators to ensure that the large-array infrared detector chips work in a low-temperature environment by using the high-vacuum insulation principle of the Dewar. The thermal load of the Dewar is a comprehensive index representing the insulation capacity of the Dewar, and its size is an important index for measuring the refrigerator. When the thermal load increases to a certain extent, the cooling capacity provided by the mechanical refrigerator cannot meet the requirements of deep low-temperature work of the large-array infrared detector, so the large-array infrared detector cannot work at the required temperature point, and the residual gas in the Dewar will condense on the surface of the detector, causing the performance of the large-array detector to degrade or even be lost, thereby causing the high-spatial-resolution infrared remote sensing instrument to malfunction. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a large-array infrared detector Dewar assembly with low thermal load and high vacuum.

[0003] The infrared detector large-array infrared module in the Dewar cannot be directly bonded and led out to the connector on the Dewar shell, and the traditional Dewar design is to fix the wires in the Dewar to the cold head of the Dewar, i.e. to the cold end of the Dewar. Such packaging method will cause a part of the cooling capacity of the refrigerator to be transferred to the lead connector through the wires when the refrigerator is cooling the infrared detector, and the lead connector is generally on the room-temperature Dewar shell assembly, which will increase the thermal load of the large-array Dewar assembly, and further increase the power consumption of the refrigerator. In summary, in order to solve the problem that the large-array infrared module cannot be directly bonded and led out to the connector, and to reduce the thermal load of the large-array infrared detector, an electrical lead structure of a large-array infrared detector Dewar assembly is urgently needed.
