InfraredVision Technology Corporation (ITC) has developed an efficient low cost manufacturing facility in Buellton, California, 45 miles north of Santa Barbara. ITC is a turn-key uncooled infrared detector manufacturing company housing a wafer fabrication clean room, a metal dewar packaging facility, and a full in-house test laboratory. The entire facility was designed to optimize production quality, quantity, and cost.ITC was founded as a California Corporation in 2000 to provide commercial infrared camera manufacturers with a dependable, low cost source for core camera components. ITC holds a patent and technology license from Honeywell Intellectual Properties Inc. that has been expanded to included all fields of use. These added fields of use include all “Home Uses” and “Commercial Aviation Uses” making the ITC license unique among the five US licensees. The licensed technology for uncooled infrared focal plane arrays was originally developed in response to a military need to see the battlefield at night without illumination. The technology used by ITC enables operation of infrared focal plane arrays without the need of a cryogenic system thus making the technology affordable for commercial uses.
Our in-house capabilities support a wide range of customer-specific solutions from ROIC design through delivery and support of VOx detectors. In 2003 ITC commenced commercial delivery of its flagship product family, the 37.5 micron 320 x 240 VOx microbolometer. The 1000 and a radiometric model 1100 are available for immediate delivery. ITC’s 320 x 240 VOx detector offers unique on-chip non-uniformity correction and gain control. These features, coupled with impressive performance specifications, provide outstanding imaging and radiometry for all commercial market applications. The 37.5 micron pitch design allows for smaller, less expensive optical systems and the opportunity for overall size reductions of IR cameras.
