Since the 1970s, Fairchild Imaging has provided high-performance focal plane arrays (FPA) for almost every conceivable imaging application. Faircfhild is particularly renown for their wafer scale charge coupled device (CCD) focal planes, which provide the extraordinary and critical performance that industry requires. These large area focal planes deliver unprecedented resolution with 16 Megapixel and even 85 Megapixel arrays. Moreover, they are available in a variety of formats and architectures that can be tailored to the requirements of your application. Fairchild Imaging offers back illuminated CCDs for high quantum efficiency (QE) and sensitivity, interline focal plane arrays for electron shuttering and wafer scale TDI CCDs for high resolution scanning.

With their in-house foundry, Fairchild Imaging provides CCD focal plane arrays in the following formats:

• Front illuminated CCDs
• Back illuminated CCDs
• TDI CCDs
• Line scan devices
• Wafer scale CCDs
• Ultra low noise CMOS
• Space qualified focal planes
• Custom solutions

Fairchild Imaging understands that there are applications where CCD technology may not always be your imaging choice. To continue to support your imaging needs with the same high quality that you have become accustomed to with Fairchild Imaging, they now offer a line of ultra-low-noise CMOS sensors. This CMOS technology provides their customers with yet another alternative to their imaging requirements.

No matter your choice, a Fairchild Imaging focal plane array can be perfectly suited to your aerospace, industrial, medical or scientific imaging application.
