20090261387CMOS integrated process for fabricating monocrystalline silicon micromechanical elements by porous silicon micromachining - The invention relates to a process for fabricating a monocrystalline Si-micromechanical element integrated with a CMOS circuit element within the CMOS technology, wherein a domain of second conducting property is formed within a substrate of first conducting property, here the second conducting property is reverse with respect to the first conducting property, then simultaneously with or immediately after this a domain of monocrystalline Si is formed within the substrate for fabricating a micromechanical element. After this, a CMOS circuit element is fabricated within the substrate through the known steps of CMOS technology and then the circuit element, as well as a portion of said domain for fabricating the micromechanical element that will carry the micromechanical element after its fabrication are covered with a protecting layer. Then by starting a front-side isotropic porous Si-etching from the exposed surface of said domain for fabricating the micromechanical element and by continuing the etching until said portion that will carry the micromechanical element after its fabrication becomes at least in its full extent underetched, a porous Si sacrificial layer is created which at least partially encloses said portion that will carry the micromechanical element after its fabrication. As a next step, the exposed surface of said porous Si sacrificial layer is passivated by applying a metallic thin film thereon and metallic contact pieces of the circuit element through the known steps of CMOS technology are formed. Finally, the metallic thin film that covers the exposed surface of the porous Si sacrificial layer is removed and the micromechanical element is formed by chemically dissolving said porous Si sacrificial layer.10-22-2009

20110204231THERMAL DETECTION AND IMAGING OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION - The current invention provides a method for improving the sensitivity of bolometric detection by providing improved electromagnetic power/energy absorption. In addition to its role in significantly improving the performance of conventional conducting-film bolometric detection elements, the method suggests application of plasmon resonance absorption for efficient thermal detection and imaging of far-field radiation using the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and the herein introduced Cavity Plasmone Resonance (CPR) phenomena. The latter offers detection characteristics, including good frequency sensitivity, intrinsic spatial (angular) selectivity without focusing lenses, wide tunability over both infrared and visible light domains, high responsivity and miniaturization capabilities. As compared to SPR, the CPR-type devices offer an increased flexibility over wide ranges of wavelengths, bandwidths, and device dimensions. Both CPR and SPR occur in metallic films, which are characterized by high thermal diffusivity essential for fast bolometric response.08-25-2011
