摘要:
Provided is a small piezoelectric power generator applied to a wireless sensor network system of a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for monitoring an internal environment of a tire such as variation in air pressure in the tire. In particular, when the system, in which air pressure, temperature and acceleration sensors are mounted, installed in the tire is operated in the TPMS for an automobile, a small piezoelectric power generator for the TPMS can be used as a power source in place of a conventional battery. The piezoelectric power generator includes a substrate having an electrode for transmitting power to the exterior, a metal plate formed on the substrate, and a piezoelectric body disposed on the metal plate and transmitting the power generated by a piezoelectric material to the electrode.

In an infrared detection sensor according to the present invention, all material constituting an upper portion of a sensing electrode in a supporting arm region is removed so that a supporting arm has low thermal conductivity. As a result, thermal conductivity of the infrared sensor structure is reduced, and the infrared detection sensor has excellent sensitivity.

A resistive material for a bolometer, a bolometer for an infrared detector using the material, and a method of manufacturing the bolometer are provided. In the resistive material, at least one element selected from the group consisting of nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) and germanium (Ge) is included in antimony (Sb). The resistive material has superior properties such as high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), low resistivity, a low noise constant, and is easily formed in a thin film structure by sputtering typically used in a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process, so that it can be used as a resistor for the bolometer for an uncooled infrared detector, and thus provide the infrared detector with superior temperature precision.

Provided are a multilayer-structured bolometer and a method of fabricating the same. In the multilayer-structured bolometer, the number of support arms supporting the body of a sensor structure is reduced to one, and two electrodes are formed on the one support arm. Thus, the sensor structure is electrically connected with a substrate through the only one support arm. According to the multilayer-structured bolometer and method of fabricating the bolometer, the thermal conductivity of the sensor structure is considerably reduced to remarkably improve sensitivity to temperature, and also the pixel size of the bolometer is reduced to obtain high-resolution thermal images. In addition, the multilayer-structured bolometer can have a high fill-factor due to a sufficiently large infrared-absorbing layer, and thus can improve infrared absorbance.

The method includes providing a substrate including a read-out integrated circuit and a reflective layer for forming an absorption structure, forming a sacrificial layer on the substrate, forming a cantilever structure having an uneven cross-section in the sacrificial layer, forming a sensor part isolated from the substrate by the cantilever structure, and removing the sacrificial layer.
