  • Abstract
    Spiral-antenna-coupled Bi microbolometer was fabricated on a Si3N4/SiO2 membrane. The DC sensitivity of the device was 335 W-1 and the responsivity was 110 V/W at 220 GHz for Ib = 1.0 mA. These values are about 10 times higher than those of the Bi bolometer fabricated on a dielectric substrate. The NEP was estimated to be 4×10-10 W/Hz1/2 for a modulation frequency at 1 kHz.
