摘要
Microbolometer infrared detectors based on semicon-ducting yttrium-barium-copper-oxide (YBCO) have been fabricated on a 125-mum-thick flexible polyimide substrate, Kapton((R)). During the fabrication process, the highest temperature reached was 270 degreesC, used to cure a polyimide insulation layer. The 60 mum X 60 mum microbolometers displayed a temperature coefficient of resistance of -3.07%fK at room temperature. The thermal conductivity of the structure was measured to be 4.18 X 10(-5) W/K. The bolometer response showed a linear dependence on bias current with a responsivity of 2 X 103 V/W and detectivity of 3 X 10(7) cm Hz(1/2)/W at 1.13 Hz and 1 muA bias.
