▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - The conductor has metal nanowires on a substrate including fused junctions between metal nanowires. The metal nanowires include fused junctions forming a metal nanowire network. A graphene layer is placed on the metal nanowire network for forming a nanohybrid layer of the graphene layer and the metal nanowire network. A dielectric passivation layer is placed on a portion of the nanohybrid layer, where the optically transparent conductor includes transmittance greater than 92% over entire range extending from near infrared (IR) to long wavelength IR. USE - Optically IR-transparent conductor for use in IR imaging technologies for facilitating high-resolution wide-area surveillance of driving small pixel, high-density, large-format IR focal plane arrays (FPAs). ADVANTAGE - The conductor utilizes optically transparent contacts, interconnects, and grids to address limitations of nontransparent metal contacts/grid lines and interconnects, and allow high collection efficiency of photoelectrons over the entire pixel area, thus realizing high fill-factor and high overall quantum efficiency in scaled high density, large-format FPAs including formats. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The graphene layer comprises monolayer graphene. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a photograpgic view of scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of a proof-of-concept optically transparent contact integrated on an idium antimonide IR detector.
