Abstract

The invention discloses a thermistor and a micro-bolometer based on the thermistor. According to the thermistor, a three-layer stack structure of a first aluminum nitride thin film, a vanadium oxide thin film and a second aluminum nitride thin film is sequentially formed on a substrate; the first aluminum nitride thin film on the bottom layer has a high heat conductivity coefficient and the excellent temperature uniformity and can serve as a growth foundation of the vanadium oxide thin film; the vanadium oxide thin film on the middle layer serves as a thermosensitive reaction layer, has higher temperature resistance coefficient, higher reaction speed and lower processing temperature and has the wide temperature measuring range; and the second aluminum nitride film on the top layer serves as a passivation layer, and has the excellent heat conductivity, temperature uniformity and the protection effect; furthermore, the three-layer stack structure is manufactured in a micro floating bridge structure of the micro bolometer, so that the temperature uniformity can be improved, and the absorption efficiency of far infrared wavelength of 10-17 microns can be increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a thermistor and a microbolometer based on the thermistor. Background technique [0002] A thermistor is a resistor that is extremely sensitive to temperature changes. Using its sensitivity to temperature, it has been widely used in temperature measurement, temperature control, temperature compensation, barometric pressure measurement, weather detection, overload protection, etc. [0003] Thermistor-based microbolometer (Microbolometer) is a kind of infrared detector that has developed very rapidly in recent years. It is mainly completed by the micro-pontoon structure. The change in temperature will cause the resistance value of the thermistor to change, and the required information can be obtained by detecting this change. In the micropontoon structure, the thermistor as the core has a great influence on the sensitivity of the microbolometer. At present, the most common...
