Abstract

Novel uncooled thermal sensor based on a suspended transistor (TMOS) made in standard CMOS-SOI process and released by post-etching, has been developed at Technion. Monolithic ROIC design principles for TMOS IR imagers, based on current and voltage operation modes are presented. Performance analysis of imaging sensors operated either in voltage or current sensing mode, is presented. The major challenges associated with the technology: Very low ratio of signal current or voltage relative to the DC power supply voltage or current, self-heating thermal effects, mismatch and low-frequency noise are discussed.
