Abstract

The pyroelectric properties of doped hafnium dioxide (HfO2) are utilized to create a new CMOS compat-ible infrared sensor element suitable for mass production. In this paper, we propose a new sensor design with the goal of maximizing the temperature sensitivity and optimizing the thermal time constant. Fur-thermore, a thermal-electrical model of a complete pyroelectric detector is developed to estimate the signal and noise behavior.
