2005 International Conference on MEMS,NANO and Smart Systems Performance of a 512x3 Pixel Microbolometer Detector for Space Imaging Applications Banff, Alberta, Canada July 24-July 27 ISBN: 0-7695-2398-6
A 512x3 pixel microbolometer detector array has been developed for space imaging applications. Each pixel includes thermally sensitive and reference microbolometer detectors fabricated by surface micromachining and arranged in a Wheatstone bridge configuration. The detector array is sensitive to thermal infrared radiation and early characterisation shows good uniformity of response between the three lines and among pixels in a given line. The pixel bridge configuration reduces the impact of die temperature drift on pixel output to approximately 40 ?V/K, a three hundred fold improvement over a single microbolometer detector.
