Description

A kind of uncooled infrared imaging focal plane array detector
Technical field
The utility model relates to the infrared imagery technique field, relates in particular to a kind of uncooled infrared imaging focal plane array detector.
Background technology
As everyone knows, the object that all temperature are higher than absolute zero all can produce infrared radiation, and the intensity of this infrared radiation and energy distribution are relevant with object temperature, is loaded with the characteristic information of object.By the infrared radiation of inspected object, the sightless infrared view of the mankind can be converted into visible image.
Common infrared detection device can be divided into two kinds of quantum type (refrigeration) infrared eye and pattern of fever (non-refrigeration) infrared eyes.Wherein the quantum type infrared eye is converted into electron energy with the photon energy of infrared radiation; Thermal type infrared detector then is to change to catch infrared information by the detector temperature that the infrared radiation that detects target object causes.
Because the excited electron energy of infrared light photon is suitable with the Electron Heat kinergety under the room temperature, so the infrared eye of quantum type need to be in liquid nitrogen (temperature 77K) refrigeration to suppress the Electron Heat motion, and this causes the quantum type infrared eye expensive.
Thermal type infrared detector need not liquid nitrogen refrigerating, has greatly reduced cost of manufacture, makes the infrared technique large-area applications become possibility.But other situations of common detector based on thermoelectric effect work are as because input current can produce additional heat at detector cells, so this detector is difficult to accurately detect the infrared radiation of incident; Because the existence of plain conductor makes heat isolation difficulty between this detector cells, limited the temperature rise performance of detector; In addition, the thermoelectric effect of described thermal type infrared detector is all very faint, and the sensing circuit that these situations require to cooperate with described thermal type infrared detector has high signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) and gain, and this has not only increased design difficulty, and has improved device cost.
Should use up-light of mechanical principle reads non-refrigerate infrared focal plane array seeker, mostly adopt two Material Cantilever Beam array structures, temperature raise after the detecting unit of described non-refrigerate infrared focal plane array seeker absorbed the incident infrared light, and generation heat deformation, by the deformation of optical pickup system non-contact detecting, just obtained the infrared information of target again.Light is read non-refrigerate infrared focal plane array seeker and be need not interconnected wire, and the heat isolation is more prone between detector cells, has also saved the designing and making of sensing circuit, greatly reduces cost of development.
The light that adopts is at present read the Uncooled focal plane array row and is usually made at silicon substrate, and its structure comprises with the plurality of layers of double Material Cantilever Beam heat insulation structure of sacrifice layer and the two Material Cantilever Beam heat insulation structures of hollow out individual layer.The former need to keep silicon substrate, then when infrared ray process silicon substrate, can be because of the infrared light of reflex loss 40%, this will reduce detector sensitivity; Though the latter is reflected without silicon substrate, the utilization factor of infrared radiation is very high, yet this structure needs long-time back of the body chamber etching process and reliable stress control technique to make full engraved structure array on the flat film, manufacture craft there is very high requirement, the figure utilization factor of this structure is low simultaneously, is difficult to further reduce elemental area and improve resolution.

Described transparent substrates (1) is to visible transparent, and is especially transparent to the light of reading light path that matches with described uncooled infrared imaging focal plane array detector.In certain embodiments, institute's substrate of stating clearly (1) can be glass substrate or Sapphire Substrate.
The movable micro-joist unit of described individual layer (2) comprises supporting construction (201), thermal deformation structure (202) and infrared absorption and visible light reflection composite structure (203).
Referring to Fig. 2, described supporting construction (201) is anchored the movable micro-joist unit of described individual layer (2) in transparent substrates (1).Described supporting construction (201) can use low thermal conductivity material to make, to increase the heat isolation between movable micro-joist unit (2) and the transparent substrates (1).In certain embodiments, described supporting construction (201) can be made by monox.
Referring to Fig. 3, described thermal deformation structure (202) has two groups, lay respectively at the both sides of infrared absorption and visible light reflection composite structure (203), each described infrared absorption and visible light composite structure (203) of organizing in thermal deformation structure (202) one ends and the same plane is connected, and the other end is connected with described supporting construction (201).
Described infrared absorption and visible light composite structure (203) are one tabular pair of material structure, wherein the side towards described transparent substrates (1) is metal level, is used for the visible light of reading light path that reflection matches with described uncooled infrared imaging focal plane array detector; Opposite side is the dielectric layer with higher Infrared Absorption Coefficient, is used for absorbing the infrared radiation from target object.Described metal level lower surface directly contacts with the dielectric layer upper surface.In certain embodiments, described infrared absorption and visible light composite structure (203) can be the rectangular plate shape structures that silicon oxide film and aluminium film consist of, and wherein, silicon oxide film (dielectric layer) can be 0.3 micron, and aluminium film (metal level) can be 0.02 micron.
Referring to Fig. 4, described thermal deformation structure (202) comprises hot isolation beams (204) and thermal deformation beam (205), and described hot isolation beams (204) is connected 205 with the thermal deformation beam) interval inflection connection in same plane.
Described hot isolation beams (204) can adopt the lower material of thermal conductivity coefficient to make, and for example, in certain embodiments, described hot isolation beams (204) can be selected silica material, is used for the heat isolation between described thermal deformation beam (205) and other structures.Described thermal deformation beam (205) is two Material cladding beams, consists of the thermal expansivity difference of the bi-material of described thermal deformation beam (205).In the Available Material scope, preferably select the larger bi-materials of two kinds of thermal expansion coefficient differences to make, and the thermal expansion coefficient difference of bi-material is the bigger the better, and the warpage degree of this bi-material and their temperature correlation.For example, described thermal deformation beam (205) can select 0.3 micron thickness monox and 0.2 micron thickness aluminium to consist of double-material beam, and wherein aluminium is the high material of thermal expansivity, the material that the monox thermal expansivity is relatively low.The monox thermal expansivity is 0.5E-6K -1And aluminium is 23.5E-6K -1
