Abstract

Columnar Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 films with a grain size of 100 to 200 nm have been obtained from a 0.05M precursor solution. Electrical measurements indicated these films showed a pyroelectric coefficient of 4.1×10-4 C/m2K at room temperature. and a leakage current of 1.42×10-7A/cm2 under 100 kV/cm electrical field. The Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 films have been used for fabricating a 1×16 elements infrared detector linear array with a bulk micromachining technique. The array pixels with a sensitive area of 500×300 μm2 have a detectivity of 2.3×108 cmHz11/2W-1 at 23°C and 35Hz. By using these infrared detector arrays, thermal images were successfully obtained at room temperature. These results indicate the sol-gel derived Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 films from a 0.05M precursor solution are suitable for uncooled infrared detector array applications.
