Microbolometer: Difference between revisions

There is a wide variety of materials that are used for the detector element in microbolometers. A main factor in dictating how well the device will work is the devicesdevice's [[responsivity]]. Responsivity is the ability of the device to convert the incoming radiation into an electrical signal. Detector material properties influence this value and thus several main material properties should be investigated: TCR, 1/f Noise, and Resistance.
