As shown in Figure 1, the structural representation of the uncooled infrared imaging focal plane array detector that provides for the utility model embodiment of Fig. 1.
This detector comprises transparent substrates 11, substrate heat transfer structure 12 and micro-cantilever unit 13.Wherein, a plurality of micro-cantilevers unit 13 is tiled on the transparent substrates 11 by substrate heat transfer structure 12 in nested mode, and substrate heat transfer structure 12 directly contacts with transparent substrates 11, micro-cantilever unit 13 respectively.Wherein, the number of the area specification of transparent substrates 11 and tiling micro-cantilever unit 13 thereon can determine that the utility model embodiment does not limit according to practical application.
In addition, in the technical scheme that the utility model embodiment provides, 11 pairs of visible transparent of the transparent substrates in this detector, especially transparent to the light of reading light path in the infrared imaging system; For the heat that reduces between the adjacent micro-cantilever unit 13 is crosstalked, the material require of making substrate heat transfer structure 12 has higher thermal conductivity coefficient.
As Fig. 2, shown in Figure 3, the uncooled infrared imaging focal plane array detector top plan view that Fig. 2 provides for the utility model embodiment, micro-cantilever unit and substrate heat transfer structure connection diagram on the uncooled infrared imaging focal plane array detector that Fig. 3 provides for the utility model embodiment.As seen from Figure 2, micro-cantilever unit 13 comprises: supporting construction 131, heat insulation structure 132, thermal deformation structure 133 and reflector composite structure 134.
As seen from Figure 3, supporting construction 131 constitutes the anchor point between micro-cantilever unit 13 and the substrate heat transfer structure 12, and the material of making this structure has lower thermal conductivity coefficient, is beneficial to the heat isolation between the micro-cantilever unit 13.In addition, respectively there are a pair of supporting construction 131, heat insulation structure 132 and thermal deformation structure 133 in each micro-cantilever unit 13, and symmetry is connected in the both sides of reflector composite structure 134 in turn.Be specially, an end of thermal deformation structure 133 is connected with reflector composite structure 134, and the other end is connected with an end of heat insulation structure 132, and the other end of heat insulation structure is connected with supporting construction 134.
