A low-cost uncooled infrared microbolometer detector in standard CMOS technology.

This paper reports the development of a low-cost uncooled infrared microbolometer detector using a commercial 0.8 μm CMOS process, where the CMOS n-well layer is used as the infrared sensitive material. The n-well is suspended by front-end bulk-micromachining of the fabricated CMOS dies using electr...
