Improved Electromechanical Infrared Sensor

Abstract

Proposed electromechanical infrared detector improved version of device described in "Micromachined Electron-Tunneling Infrared Detectors" (NPO-18413). Fabrication easier, and undesired sensitivity to acceleration reduced. In devices, diaphragms and other components made of micromachined silicon, and displacements of diaphragms measured by electron tunneling displacement transducer {see "Micromachined Tunneling Accelerometer" (NPO-18513)}. Improved version offers enhanced frequency response and less spurious response to acceleration.
