Microbolometers fabricated with surface micromachining with a-Si-Ge:H thermo-sensing films

In this work we present the process flow for the fabrication of un-cooled IR detectors employing surface micro-machining techniques over silicon substrates. These detectors are based on thin films deposited by plasma at low temperatures. The thermo sensing film used is an intrinsic a-SixGe1-x:H film...
