    Abstract: An integrated circuit having an indirect sensor and a direct sensor formed on a common semiconductor substrate is disclosed. The direct sensor requires the parameter being measured to be directly applied to the direct sensor. Conversely, the indirect sensor can have the parameter being measured to be indirectly applied to the indirect sensor. The parameter being measured by the direct sensor is different than the parameter being measured by the indirect sensor. In other words, the direct sensor and indirect sensor are of different types. An example of a direct sensor is a pressure sensor. The pressure being measured by the pressure sensor must be applied to the pressure sensor. An example of an indirect sensor is an accelerometer. The rate of change of velocity does not have to be applied directly to the accelerometer. In one embodiment, the direct and indirect sensors are formed using photolithographic techniques.

    Abstract: This invention involves structure and fabrication method of a black silicon-based MEMS thermopile IR detector. The high-performance black silicon-based MEMS thermopile IR detector includes a substrate; a releasing barrier band on the substrate; a thermal isolation cavity constructed by the releasing barrier band; a black silicon-based IR absorber located right above the thermal isolation cavity; a number of thermocouples are set around the lateral sides of the black silicon-based IR absorber. The thermopiles around the black silicon-based IR absorber are electrically connected in series thus to form a thermopile. Metallic electrodes are located beside the electrically-connected thermopiles for signal output. The cold junctions of the thermopile are connected to the substrate through the first thermal-conductive-electrical-isolated structures, the heat conductor is located at the lateral sides of the thermal isolation cavity. The hot junctions of the thermopile are in contact with the IR absorber through the second thermal-conductive-electrical-isolated structures, and the second thermal-conductive-electrical-isolated structures are located above the releasing barrier band. The structure of such detector is simple, and it is easy to implement and can also be monolithicly integrated. Such detector has high responsivity and detection rate, and is CMOS-compatible, thus can be used widely in a safe and reliable manner.
