Abstract :
This paper describes fabrication and characterization of self-packaged microbolometers on a flexible substrate. Amorphous silicon (a-Si) was used as the sensing material and the entire detector was device-level packaged in a vacuum cavity with an aluminum oxide packaging layer which can withstand up to 10 atm pressure. The flicker noise coefficient K1/f was calculated to be 1.23 ×10-13 for the a-Si detecting material from the measured noise spectra.
