Effect of ambient on the thermal parameters of a micromachined bolometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thermal characterization of bolometers is needed for optimal design as well as applications. In this letter, we present results of the effect of environment on the thermal properties of micromachined bolometers. We find that while in vacuum, the thermal response can be represented by a single time constant, in presence of an ambient gas, the thermal response can no longer be described by a single time constant. This will have a direct implication on frequency dependence of responsivity. We present a model to explain our data which involves the finite diffusion time in the ambient gas and the associated extra thermal mass. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1569041#

متن کاملMicrocalorimetry applications of a surface micromachined bolometer-type thermal probe
This article describes a surface micromachined scanning thermal probe that uses polyimide as the structural material and an embedded thin film metal resistor as the sensing element. The typical dimensions of a fabricated probe are 350 mm in length, 50 mm in width, and 3–10 mm in thickness. The resistor and the scanning tip are formed by sputter-deposited films of nickel and tungsten, which prov...
