Abstract

Fabrication and characterization of high detectivity thermopile infrared detectors with spectrally selective absorption operating at room temperature is described. The detector architecture consists of a Johnson noise limited thermoelectric readout scheme integrated with a resonant cavity coupled absorber and a low thermal conductance support structure. A resonant responsivity enhancement of 4.3 and a peak detectivity of 1.3×109 cm Hz 1/2 Watt1 at 10.5 μm wavelength are demonstrated.
