| Abstract |
This project's goal is to design, fabricate and test a MEMS, polymer-based, un-cooled thermal infrared (IR) sensor array. The
sensors will be based on polymer-ceramic bimorph (two-layer) beams. Absorption of the incident IR radiation by each bimorph
cantilever beam raises its temperature, resulting in proportional deflection due to the mismatch in thermal expansion of the two
bimorph materials. |
