Computers are only able to very simple operations millions or billions of times a second, which is fast enough to combine these many operations to do complex things. The basic way in which computers look at data are called logical circuits. Logical circuits are a type of boolean expression, meaning that they produce one of two values; such as true/false, yes/no, or 1/0. Each logical gate takes two boolean values as an input, and will produce a boolean value as an output which corresponds to the type of logical gate and the supplied input. An And Gate outputs “True” only if both the A and B inputs are also “True”, else outputing “False.” This can be represented using the following table.","PeriodicalId":321967,"journal":{"name":"Semiconductor Basics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132735392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This emergent dual use technology field is fast emerging amongst the most ubiquitous ones. It spans from low-end automatic supermarket door openers to high-end space based detectors used to detect nuclear tests, missiles and intra galactic radiations. At the heart of this technology is the IR detector. Objective of this report is to review infrared (IR) detectors. Evolution of IR technology has been largely synonymous to advances in IR detectors. Various types of detectors, formats and materials interlaced with their applications have been studied. Fundamentals of IR detectors along with emerging technologies like uncooled microbolometer detector arrays, focal planar arrays, third generation detectors and future trends have also been discussed.","PeriodicalId":321967,"journal":{"name":"Semiconductor Basics","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125523590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
