LWIR all-atomic layer deposition ZnO bilayer microbolometer for thermal imaging
2017
We propose an all-ZnO bilayer microbolometer, operating in the long-wave infrared regime that can be implemented by consecutive atomic layer deposition growth steps. Bilayer design of the bolometer provides very high absorption coefficients compared to the same thickness of a single ZnO layer. High absorptivity of the bilayer structure enables higher performance (lower noise equivalent temperature difference and time constant values) compared to single-layer structure. We observe these results computationally by conducting both optical and thermal simulations.
