HILDA IC

The HILDA IC (Hyperspectral Imaging with Large Detector Arrays) is a 16 x 16, 500mm pitch array of channels designed for high-rate photon counting and multiple-energy binning up to eight bands. Like the DANA, it is intended for use in flip-chip connection with a matching 2D detector pixel array. Such a 16 x 16, 500mm pitch CZT pixel array detector is currently in fabrication. The main application envisioned for this chip is munitions inspection.
