Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, most of the MEMS structures used in existing detectors are made of vanadium oxide, etc., which are generally only supported by anchor columns in terms of structure. This type of MEMS structure has problems such as large noise equivalent temperature difference. The overall performance of the detector is greatly affected, so it is not suitable for detectors such as uncooled infrared detectors
