COMPACT INFRARED LIGHT DETECTOR AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND AN INFRARED LIGHT DETECTOR SYSTEM COMPRISING THE INFRARED LIGHT DETECTOR

摘要

The invention relates to an infrared light detector having a sensor chip (4), which comprises a thin-film element (5) made from a pyroelectrically sensitive material, having an electrical insulator (27), at least one electronic component (17, 18) having a thin-film design, which forms part of a readout electronics unit, and a thin-film membrane (2), on which the sensor chip (4) and the electronic component (17, 18) are mounted side by side in an integrated manner such that the electronic component (17, 18) is electrically conductively coupled to the thin-film element (5). A signal amplifier (22), with which, in co-operation with the electronic component (17, 18), an electrical signal emitted from the sensor chip (4) can be amplified, can be connected to the electronic component (17, 18).
