Abstract
We have been developing a monolithic microbolometer technology for uncooled infrared focal plane arrays (Uncooled IRFPAs) along the route from fabricating pixels of thin-film dielectric bolometers on micromachined silicon substrates. In the paper, the thermal-sensitive barium strontium titanate (BST) thin film capacitors for that objective prepared by Radio-Frequency Magnetron sputtering have been investigated focusing on the condition of fabrication of BST thin films. Capacitor–Temperature properties of the thermal-sensitive BST thin film capacitors have been measured with impedance analyzer. According to the Capacitor–temperature curves, these indicated that the temperature coefficient of dielectric constant (TCD) within the ambient temperature region highly depended on the Radio-Frequency Magnetron sputtering condition of fabrication of BST thin films. BST thin film capacitors with TCD-value more than 21%/K have been prepared on the optimized condition. That is a good base for preparation of dielectric bolometer mode of uncooled IRFPAs.
