Abstract

The bismuth microbolometer is a simple, easily made detector suitable for use throughout the far-infrared. A novel photoresist fabrication procedure has made it possible to obtain an electrical NEP of 2.8×10⁻¹¹ W (Hz)^(−1/2) at 100kHz for an airbridge bolometer. By using a polyimide plastic as an insulator, conventional substrate-supported devices with an NEP of 3.2×10⁻¹¹ W(Hz)^(−1/2) have also been made.
