AUTHENTIC: a very low-cost infrared detector and camera system

摘要: An Oxide over Titanium metal resistance bolometer technology developed by NMRC (Ireland) has been transferred to the X-FAB UK CMOS foundry at Plymouth, UK. Prototypes of bolometers have manufactured in production facility and tests show performance comparable with prototypes. The design integrated a read-out chip first wafers are currently being packaged for evaluation. development low cost thermal imaging camera using detector is under way. We present an overview design, together preliminary results from test programme. work partly funded European Union IST
