In this thesis, the integration of CMOS devices with Si-based microbolometer sensor on the same silicon chip was studied. Silicon based material, Poly-Si and Poly-SiGe layers were deposited as the Infra-Red (IR) sensing film as well as the CMOS gate electrode. Microbolometer test structures and CMOS...
