  • We have developed surface micromachined Infrared ray (IR) focal plane array (FPA), in which single $SiO_{2}$ layer works as an IR absorbing plate and $Pb(Zr_{0.3}Ti_{0.7})O_{2}$ thin film served as a thermally sensitive material. There are some advantages of applying $SiO_{2}$ layer as an IR absorbing layer. First of all, the $SiO_{2}$ has good IR absorbance within $8{\sim}12{\mu}m$ spectrum range. Measured value showed about 60% absorbance of incident IR spectrum in the range. $SiO_{2}$ layer has another important merit when applied to the top of Pt/PZT/Pt stack because it works also as a supporting membrane. Consequently, the IR absorbing layer forms one body with membrane structure, which simplifies the whole MEMS process and gives robustness Ito the structure.

  • Pyroelectric infrared detectors based on La-modified $PbTiO_{3}$ (PLT) thin films have been fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering and rnicrornachining technology. The detectors form $Pb_{l-x}La_{x}Ti_{1-x/4}O_{3}$ (x=0.05) thin film ferroelectric capacitors epitaxially grown by RF magnetron sputtering on Pt/MgO (100) substrate. The sputtered PLT thin film exhibits highly c-axis oriented crystal structure that no poling treatment for sensing applications is required. This is an essential factor to increase the yield for realization of an infrared image sensor. Micromachining technology is used to lower the thermal mass of the detector by giving maximum sensor efficiency. Polymide is coated on top of the sensing elements to support the fragile structure and the backside of the MgO substrate is selectively etched to reduce the heat loss. The sensing element exhibited a very high detectivity D* of $8.5{\times}10^{8}cm{\cdot}\sqrt{Hz}/W$ at room temperature and it is about 100 times higher than the case of micromachining technology is not used. A sensing system that detects the position as well as the existence of a human body is realized using the array sensor.

  • A passive infrared or pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor is mainly used to sense the existence of moving objects in an indoor environment. However, in an outdoor environment, there are often outbreaks of false alarms from environmental changes and other sources. Therefore, it is difficult to provide reliable detection outdoors. In this paper, two algorithms are proposed to reduce false alarms and provide trustworthy quality to surveillance systems. We gather PIR signals outdoors, analyze the collected data, and extract the target features defined as window energy and alarm duration. Using these features, we model target and false alarms, from which we propose two target decision algorithms: window energy detection and alarm duration detection. Simulation results using real PIR signals show the performance of the proposed algorithms.

  • In this paper, a smart constrained application protocol (CoAP)-based gateway with a border router is proposed for home safety services to remotely monitor the trespass, fire, and indoor air quality. The smart CoAP gateway controls a home safety sensor node with a pyroelectric infrared motion sensor, a fire sensor, a humidity and temperature sensor, and a non-dispersive infrared CO2 sensor and gathers sensing data from them. In addition, it can convert physical sensing data into understandable information and perform packet conversion as a border router for seamless connection between a low-power wireless personal area network (6LoWPAN) and the Internet (IPv6). Implementation and laboratory test results verify the feasibility of the smart CoAP gateway which especially can provide about 97.20% data throughput.

  • Uncooled pyroelectric thin-film (Ba,Sr)TiO$_3$ infrared detectors thermally isolated from Si-substrate by Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/Si$_3$N$_4$-membrane have been fabricated, and figures of merit for detectors were examined. The detector at $25^{\circ}C$ in air showed relatively high voltage responsivity of about 168.8 V/W and low specific detectivity of about 2.6$\times$10$^4$cm.Hz$^{1}$2//W at 1 Hz-chopping frequency because of very small signal-to-noise voltage ratio. It could be found that both thermal noise voltage and thermal time constant of the detector were very large by analyzing dependences of output waveforms on chopping frequency and temperature.
