Abstract

We report the investigation of an interconnect circuit board (ICB) with anisotropic thermal expansion for use with bump bonded, indirect hybrid, scanning focal plane arrays. This ICB is designed to reduce significantly the thermal stresses on the indium bump bonds during thermal cycling. Highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) was chosen because its anisotropic thermal expansion meets the criteria for forming an indirect hybrid ICB using silicon processor circuits and mecury cadmium telluride detectors. Properties of HOPG influencing its performance as an ICB have been investigated including thermal expansion, electrical conductivity, durability, and adherence of electrically insulating thin films.
