Infrared bolometer using semiconducting carbon nanotubes and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

To reduce the resistance value of an infrared bolometer using a semiconductor type carbon nanotube.SOLUTION: An infrared bolometer has: a source electrode and a drain electrode provided apart from each other; a carbon nanotube film serving as a light detection unit that is present between the two electrodes and at least partially overlaps and is in electrical contact with the two electrodes; and a gate electrode provided above or below the carbon nanotube film via an insulating film.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A
