Abstract
In the LWIR band, pn diodes are an attractive solution for thermometers in microbolometers. In this paper, epitaxial short diodes were studied at 303–343 K. A ranging from 8 %.K to 3 %.K between 0.2 V and 0.8 V and a current noise dominated by flicker noise were measured. Finally, at 303 K and an integration time of 40 ms, a thermal resolution ranging from 5.10 K to K was obtained for bias currents between A and A.
