An object of the present invention is to provide a bolometer having a high TCR value and a low resistance, and a method for manufacturing the same.
The present invention relates to a bolometer manufacturing method including: fabricating a set of two carbon nanotube wires that are approximately parallel to each other at edges of a line shape, or fabricating a circular shape carbon nanotube wire at a circular circumference of a circular shape, by applying a semiconducting carbon nanotube dispersion liquid in the line shape or the circular shape on a substrate, and drying the dispersion liquid, a width of each wire being 5 μm or more; and connecting a part of each wire to a first electrode and a second electrode.
