    摘要: An infrared imaging microbolometer integrating a membrane assembled in suspension above a substrate by means of holding arms attached to anchoring nails is disclosed. The membrane includes a support layer crossing the upper end of the anchoring nails. It also includes an absorber or electrode deposited on the support layer and on the anchoring nails with a pattern forming at least two electrodes. It further includes a dielectric layer deposited on the absorber or electrode and on the support layer, at least two conductive vias formed through the dielectric layer in contact with the at least two electrodes, and a thermometric or thermoresistive material arranged on a planar surface formed at the level of the upper ends of the conductive vias.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a microelectromechanical system includes forming of an electromechanical element on a substrate. The method further includes preparation of an encapsulation package to form a sealed cavity integrating the electromechanical element, with the sealed cavity having a volume smaller than 10 mm3. The method includes physical vapor deposition of a getter film on the substrate or on a wall of the encapsulation package so that the getter film has a specific absorption surface area smaller than 8 m2/g, and sealing of the encapsulation package on the substrate by means of a thermal sealing cycle having a temperature enabling to activate said getter film.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an infrared detector includes the steps of: hybrid bonding of a detection chip to a second chip; said hybrid bonding step being carried out by adhesion of contacts and of insulator layers of the two chips; removal of a substrate of said detection chip to reach a deep oxide layer; forming of conductive pads through said deep oxide layer to reach transistors present in a semiconductor layer; and forming of microbolometers suspended over said deep oxide layer and electrically connected to the conductive pads.

    摘要: The detection device includes first and second photodetectors each sensitive to two different wavelength ranges. The detection device comprises a first filter configured to allow the first wavelength range to pass and to block the second wavelength range. The first filter covers the first photodetector and leaves the second photodetector uncovered. The detection device comprises a second filter located at a distance from the first and second photodetectors and at a distance from the first filter. The second filter is configured to allow the first and the second wavelength ranges to pass. A processing circuit is configured to receive electric signals coming from the first and second photodetectors and to provide data relative to the radiation of the second wavelength range by comparing the first signal with the second signal.

    摘要: An electromagnetic radiation detection system includes a detection circuit detecting an electromagnetic radiation and supplying a representative electrical signal. A cold table supports the detection circuit. A thermally insulating support supports the cold table. It includes an enclosure defining a closed volume and provided with a bottom, a top and a side wall connecting the bottom and the top. The thermally insulating support mechanically connects the cold table with the bottom of the enclosure. A cooler is mechanically connected to the enclosure and configured to cool the detection circuit. The cooler is mechanically fastened onto the side wall of the enclosure and thermally connected to the detection circuit by means of a thermal connector connecting the cooler and the cold table and the cold shield.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of removing, by an imaging processing device, remanence artifacts from an image (fn) of a sequence of images captured by an infrared imaging device, the method comprising:



    inpainting a zone of remanence in the image (fn) to generate an inpainted image;
    generating a remanence measure for at least some pixels in the image (fn) based on the inpainted image; and
    removing remanence artifacts from at least some pixels of the image (fn) based on a remanence estimation for each of the at least some pixels, each remanence estimation being generated based on the remanence measures of a plurality of the images in the sequence.
