We report a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI)-based multi-channel micro-spectrometer used for multi-gas measurement in the spectral range of $3-5{\mu}m$ and its gas sensing performance. The fabricated infrared (IR) spectrometer consists of two parts: an FPI on the top side for selective IR filtering and a $V_2O_5$-based IR detector array on the bottom side for the detection of the filtered IR. Experimental results show that the FPI-based multi-channel gas sensor has reliability and selectivity for simultaneously detecting environmentally harmful gases such as $CH_4$, $CO_2$, $N_2O$ and CO in the spectral range of $3-5{\mu}m$. The fabricated FPI-based multi-channel gas sensor also demonstrated that a reliable and selective detection of gas concentrations ranging from 0 to 500 ppm is feasible. In addition, the electrical characteristics demonstrate a superior response performance in regards to the selectivity in the multi-target gases.

In this paper, fabricated by MEMS uncooled micro-bolometer detector for the study in the infrared sensitivity enhancement. Absorption layer SiOx-Metal series MDTF (metal-dielectric thin film) by high absorption rate and has a high thermal coefficient of resistance, low noise characteristics were implemented. Then MDTF were made in a vacuum deposition method. And MDTF for the analysis of the physical properties of silicon wafers were fabricated, TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) value was made in order to measure the glass wafer and FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy) values were made in order to measure the germanium window. The analyzed results of MDTF -3 [%/K] has more characteristics of the TCR. And 8~12 um wavelength region close to 70% in the absorption characteristic.

Glucose concentrations in the interstitial fluid were measured based on optical spectroscopy. Prediction of glucose concentrations was made using partial least squares regression and accuracy improvement was achieved by data preprocessing as well as by selecting an optimal wavelength region. For this purpose, artificial interstitial fluid samples were prepared where their glucose levels varied between 0 and 10 g/dl. Infrared spectral regions where glucose absorption lies were investigated. A region of 1000 - 1500 $cm^{-1}$ produced the best accuracy among the regions of 1000 - 1500 $cm^{-1}$, 4000 - 4545 $cm^{-1}$1 and 5500 - 6500 $cm^{-1}$. Further accuracy improvement in 1000 - 1500 $cm^{-1}$ was achieved by selecting specific wavelength bands based on a loading vector analysis method. For the samples whose glucose concentrations ranged between 0 and 0.5 g/dl, SEP= 0.0266 g/dl and R =0.9863 were achieved with 1000 - 1500 $cm^{-1}$. However, the loading vector optimized band of 1002 - 1095 $cm^{-1}$ reduced the prediction error up to 47 % (SEP =0.0125 g/dl and R=0.9970).

In order to develop a highly sensitive infrared sensor, it is necessary to develop techniques for decreasing the rate of heat absorption and the transition of the absorption wavelength to a longer wavelength, both of which can be induced by decreasing the pixel size of the bolometer. Therefore, in this study, $1{\mu}m$ hole-arrays with a subwavelength smaller than the incident infrared wavelength were formed on the amorphous silicon-based microbolometer pixels in the absorber, which consisted of a TiN absorption layer, an a-Si resistance layer and a SiNx membrane support layer. We demonstrated that it is possible to reduce the thermal time constant by 16% relative to the hole-patternless bolometer, and that it is possible to shift the absorption peak to a shorter wavelength as well as increase absorption in the $4-8{\mu}m$ band to compensate for the infrared long-wavelength transition. These results demonstrate the potential for a new approach to improve the performance of high-resolution microbolometers.

The uncooled microbolometer thermal sensor for low cost and mass volume was designed to target the new infrared market that includes smart device, automotive, energy management, and so on. The microbolometer sensor features 80x60 pixels low-resolution format and enables the use of wafer-level vacuum packaging (WLVP) technology. Read-out IC (ROIC) implements infrared signal detection and offset correction for fixed pattern noise (FPN) using an internal digital to analog convertor (DAC) value control function. A reliable WLVP thermal sensor was obtained with the design of lid wafer, the formation of Au80%wtSn20% eutectic solder, outgassing control and wafer to wafer bonding condition. The measurement of thermal conductance enables us to inspect the internal atmosphere condition of WLVP microbolometer sensor. The difference between the measurement value and design one is $3.6{\times}10-9$ [W/K] which indicates that thermal loss is mainly on account of floating legs. The mean time to failure (MTTF) of a WLVP thermal sensor is estimated to be about 10.2 years with a confidence level of 95 %. Reliability tests such as high temperature/low temperature, bump, vibration, etc. were also conducted. Devices were found to work properly after accelerated stress tests. A thermal camera with visible camera was developed. The thermal camera is available for non-contact temperature measurement providing an image that merged the thermal image and the visible image.

Infrared transparent ZnS ceramics were synthesized through hydrothermal synthesis ($180^{\circ}C$, 70 h) and sintered using a hot press process at $750^{\circ}C-1000^{\circ}C$. We carried out x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy to confirm the optical properties of the ZnS ceramics after sintering at various temperatures. The phase of ZnS nanopowders was a single phase (cubic) without the hexagonal phase. However, as sintering temperature increased, the formation and increment of hexagonal structures was confirmed. The ZnS ceramic sintered at a temperature of $750^{\circ}C$ showed poor transmittance because it was not completely sintered and because of the pore effect. The ZnS ceramic with the highest transmittance (approximately 69%) was sintered at $800^{\circ}C$. As sintering temperature increased, transmittance gradually decreased owing to the increase in the formation of the hexagonal phase.
