摘要： A thermal detection system (10) includes a focal plane array (12), a thermal isolation structure (14), and an integrated circuit substrate (16). Focal plane array (12) includes thermal sensors (28), each having an associated thermal sensitive element (30). Thermal sensitive element (30) is coupled with one side to infrared absorber and common electrode assembly (36) and on the opposite side to an associated contact pad (20) disposed on the integrated circuit substrate (16). Reticulation kerfs (52a, 52b) separate adjacent thermal sensitive elements (30a, 30b, 30c) by a distance at least half the average width (44, 46) of a single thermal sensitive element (30a, 30b, 30c). A continuous, non-reticulated optical coating (38) may be disposed over thermal sensitive elements (30a, 30b, 30c) to maximize absorption of thermal radiation incident to focal plane array (12).

摘要： A thermal isolation structure (10) is disposed between a focal plane array and an integrated circuit substrate (12). The thermal isolation structure (10) includes a mesa-type formation (16) and a mesa strip conductor (18, 26) extending from the top of the mesa-type formation (16) to an associated contact pad (14) on the integrated circuit substrate (12). After formation of the mesa-type formation (16) and the mesa strip conductor (18, 26), an anisotropic etch using the mesa strip conductor (18, 26) as an etch mask removes excess mesa material to form trimmed mesa-type formation (24) for improved thermal isolation. Bump bonding material (20) may be deposited on mesa strip conductor (18, 26) and can also be used as an etch mask during the anisotropic etch. Thermal isolation structure (100) can include mesa-type formations (102), each with a centrally located via (110) extending vertically to an associated contact pad (104) of integrated circuit substrate (106). A conductor (108) is deposited on top of mesa-type formation (102), along the walls of via (110), and overlying contact pad (104). An anisotropic etch using the conductor (108) as an etch mask removes excess mesa material (118) for improved thermal isolation.

摘要： A thermal detection system (100, 200) includes a focal plane array (102, 202), a thermal isolation structure (104, 204) and an integrated circuit substrate (106, 206). The focal plane array (102, 202) includes thermal sensors (114, 214) formed from a pyroelectric element (116, 216), such as barium strontium titanate (BST). One side of the pyroelectric element (116, 216) is coupled to a contact pad (110, 210) disposed on the integrated circuit substrate (106, 206) through a mesa strip conductor (112, 212) of the thermal isolation structure (104, 204). The other side of the pyroelectric element (116, 216) is coupled to a common electrode (120, 220). In one embodiment, slots (128) are formed in the common electrode (120) intermediate the thermal sensors (114) to improve inter-pixel thermal isolation. In another embodiment, slots (236) are formed in the optical coating (224) to improve inter-pixel thermal isolation. The common electrode (120, 220) may be formed from a thermally insulating material, such as a silicon monoxide and chromium matrix (cermet) or other metal oxide.

The thermal assembly (44, 88, 118) may comprise a thermally sensitive element (50) and a pair of electrodes (52, 54). The thermally sensitive element (50) may generate a signal representative of an amount of thermal radiation incident to the thermally sensitive element (50). The electrodes (52, 54) may collect the signal generated by the thermally sensitive element (50). The signal flowpath (46, 90, 120) may transmit the signal collected by the electrodes (52, 54) to the substrate (34, 82, 112). The signal flowpath (46, 90, 120) may comprise a pair of arms (56, 58, 92, 122) each extending from an electrode (52, 54) and be connected to the substrate (34, 82, 112). The arms (56, 58, 92, 122) may support the thermal assembly (44, 88, 118) in spaced relation with the substrate (34, 82, 112).

摘要： This is a system and method of forming an electrical contact to the optical coating of an infrared detector. The method may comprise: forming thermal isolation trenches 22 and contact vias 23 in a substrate 20; depositing a bias contact metal 32 into the vias 23 forming biasing contact areas around a periphery of the substrate 20; depositing a first trench filler 24 in the trenches 22 and vias 23; replanarizing; depositing a common electrode layer 25 over the thermal isolation trenches and the biasing contact areas; mechanically thinning the substrate 20 to expose the biasing contact area 32 and the trench filler 24; depositing a contact metal 34 on the backside of the substrate 20, the exposed trench filler 24 and the exposed bias contact area; and etching the contact metal 34 and the trench filler 24 to form pixel mesas of the contact metal 34 and the substrate 20. The thermal isolation trenches 22 and the bias contact vias 23 may be formed by ion milling or laser vaporization. Alternately, the bias contact areas 23 may be formed by performing laser vaporization on the substrate 20 to produce conductive 23 areas within the substrate.

摘要： This is a system and method of forming an electrical contact to the optical coating of an infrared detector. The method may comprise: forming thermal isolation trenches 22 in a substrate 20; depositing a trench filler 24 in the thermal isolation trenches 22; depositing a common electrode layer 31 over the thermal isolation trenches 22; depositing an optical coating 26 above the common electrode layer 31; mechanically thinning the substrate to expose the trench filler 24; etching to remove the trench filler 24 in the bias contact area; depositing a contact metal 34 on the backside of the substrate 20, wherein the contact metal 34 connects to the common electrode layer 31 at bias contact areas 34 around a periphery of the thermal isolation trenches; and etching the contact metal 34 and the trench filler 24 to form pixel mesas of the contact metal 34 and the substrate 20. Bias contact vias 23 may be formed in the bias contact areas and then filled with bias contact metal 49. Alternately, the bias contact vias may also be filled with the contact metal 34. The thermal isolation trenches may be formed by laser vaporization, ion milling or other equivalent methods. In addition, an elevation layer may be formed between the optical coating and the substrate to provide greater tolerances for ion milling. The elevation layer may be filled with a trench filler and then removed after milling. Alternately, the elevation layer may be filled with a metal 49 to connect the bias contact metal to the common electrode in the bias contact areas.
