볼로메터용 바나듐-텅스텐 산화물로 표면 미세가공한 비냉각 적외선 감지기의 특성

To produce a highly sensitive uncooled microbolometer, the development of a high-performance thermometric material is essential. In this work, amorphous vanadium-tungsten oxide was developed as a thermometric material at a low temperature of $300^{\circ}C$, and the microbolometer, coupled with the material, was designed and fabricated using surface micromachining technology. The vanadium-tungsten oxide showed good properties for application to the microbolometer, Such as a high temperature coefficient of resistance of over -4.0 $\%$/K and good compatibility with the surface micromachining and integrated circuit fabrication process due to its low fabrication temperature. As a result, the uncooled microbolometer could be fabricated with high detectivity over $1.0\;{\times}\;10^9\;cmHz^{1/2}/W$ at a bias current of $7.5\;{\mu}A$ and a chopper frequency of 10-20 Hz
