摘要:
The central problem of the sensor design is a good thermal insulation of the P(VDF/TrFE) thin film from the read-out circuit. Two variations were examined - thin carrier membranes of SiO2/Si3N4produced through back etching and thick thermal insulating layers out of spin-coated polymers with via holes. Through simulation and measurements on single element sensors and linear arrays for both variants an optimal design could be established. Membrane sensors consisting of 1 μm P (VDF/TrFE) thin film deposited on a 0·65 μm thick membrane show within the frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 kHz comparatively higher values for responsivity and specific detectivity than insulating layer sensors. The insulating layer sensors have in the most favourable case a thermal cutoff frequency of about 100 Hz, below that the responsivity remains constant while the specific detectivity and NEP deteriorate again. The optimal layer thickness for the compound of BCB and P(VDF/TrFE) for a chopper frequency of about 100 Hz is at approximately 18…25 μm. The advantages of the design with insulating layer are however, that a filling factor of almost 100% independently of the pixel size is reachable and that very small pixels of about (50X50) μm2are realisable too.
