Provided are a bolometer structure, an infrared detection pixel employing the bolometer structure, and a method of fabricating the infrared detection pixel.The infrared detection pixel includes a substrate including a read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) and on which a reflection layer for reflecting infrared light is stacked, a bolometer structure formed to be spaced apart from the substrate and including a temperature-sensitive resistive layer, a first metal layer formed in a pattern on one surface of the temperature-sensitive resistive layer, a second metal layer formed in a pattern complementary to the pattern of the first metal layer on the other surface of the temperature-sensitive resistive layer in order to complementarily absorb infrared light, and an insulating layer formed between the temperature-sensitive resistive layer and the first metal layer, and a metal pad receiving a change in resistance of the temperature-sensitive resistive layer according to infrared light absorbed by the first metal layer and the second metal layer from the second metal layer, and transferring the change in resistance to the ROIC.Thus, it is possible to improve responsivity, and implement a simple bolometer structure robust against stress. Consequently, process yield can be improved, and the volume, weight, price, etc., of application products can be reduced by reducing the volume of a bolometer structure.

Provided is a high-sensitivity MEMS-type z-axis vibration sensor, which may sense z-axis vibration by differentially shifting an electric capacitance between a doped upper silicon layer and an upper electrode from positive to negative or vice versa when center mass of a doped polysilicon layer is moved due to z-axis vibration. Particularly, since a part of the doped upper silicon layer is additionally connected to the center mass of the doped polysilicon layer, and thus an error made by the center mass of the doped polysilicon layer is minimized, it may sensitively respond to weak vibration of low frequency such as seismic waves. Accordingly, since the high-sensitivity MEMS-type z-axis vibration sensor sensitively responds to a small amount of vibration in a low frequency band, it can be applied to a seismograph sensing seismic waves of low frequency which have a very small amount of vibration and a low vibration speed. Moreover, since the high-sensitivity MEMS-type z-axis vibration sensor has a higher vibration sensibility than MEMS-type z-axis vibration sensor of the same size, it can be useful in electronic devices which are gradually decreasing in size.

Provided are a phase-change memory device using a phase-change material having a low melting point and a high crystallization speed, and a method of fabricating the same. The phase-change memory device includes an antimony (Sb)-selenium (Se) chalcogenide SbxSe100-x phase-change material layer contacting a heat-generating electrode layer exposed through a pore and filling the pore. Due to the use of SbxSe100-x in the phase-change material layer, a higher-speed, lower-power consumption phase-change memory device than a GST memory device can be manufactured.
