TL;DR: A threedimensional imaging laser radar featuring 3-cm range resolution and single-photon sensitivity, and plans for future imaging three-dimensional laser radars are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A wafer-scale 3-D circuit integration technology
J.A. Burns,Brian F. Aull,Chenson Chen,Chang-Lee Chen,Craig L. Keast,J.M. Knecht,Vyshnavi Suntharalingam,K. Warner,Peter W. Wyatt,D.-R. Yost +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the rationale and development of a wafer-scale three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit technology and the essential elements of the 3D technology are integrated circuit fabrication on silicon-on-insulator wafers, precision waferwafer alignment using an in-house developed alignment system, low-temperature wafer wafer bonding to transfer and stack active circuit layers, and interconnection of the circuit layers with dense-vertical connections with sub-Omega 3-D via resistances.

Digital photon-counting geiger-mode avalanche photodiode solid-state monolithic intensity imaging focal-plane with scalable readout circuitry
Alvin Stern,Brian F. Aull,Bernard B. Kosicki,Robert K. Reich,Bradley J. Felton,D. C. Shaver,A.H. Loomis,Douglas J. Young +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a photon-counting Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode intensity imaging array includes an array of pixels (200), each having an avalanche photodode (250), a pixel senses an avalanche event and stores, in response to the sensed avalanche event, a single bit digital value therein.
