Abstract

In this study the electro-thermo-mechanical behavior and analysis of TiOx microbolometer is presented. Different thermal, electrical and coupled electromechanical simulations were performed to achieve the target Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference (NETD) and thermal time constant. The influence of various device dimensions and film thickness on device thermal conductance, NETD and thermal time constant has been reported.
