    Abstract: A TeraMOS sensor based on a CMOS-SOI-MEMS transistor, thermally isolated by the MEMS post-processing, designed specifically for the detection of THz radiation which may be directly integrated with the CMOS-SOI readout circuitry, in order to achieve a breakthrough in performance and cost. The TeraMOS sensor provides a low-cost, high performance THz passive or active imaging system (roughly in the range of 0.5-1.5 THz) by combining several leading technologies: Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)-Silicon on Insulator (SOI), Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and photonics. An array of TeraMOS sensors, integrated with readout circuitry and driving and supporting circuitry provides a monolithic focal plane array or imager. This imager is designed in a commercial CMOS-SOI Fab and the MEMS micromachining is provided as post-processing step in order to reduce cost. Thus the CMOS transistors and technology provide the sensors as well as the signal processing and additional readout circuitry both in the pixels as well as around the sensor array.

    Abstract: Sensors for detecting IR radiation, UV radiation, X-Rays, light, gas, and chemicals. The sensors herein incorporate freestanding carbon nanostructures, such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (“SWCNT”), atomically thin carbon sheets having a thickness of about between 1 atom and about 5 atoms (“graphene”), and combinations thereof. The freestanding carbon nanostructures are suspended above a substrate by a plurality of conductors, each conductor electrically connected to the carbon nanostructure. In one method of manufacture, a resonance chamber is formed under the carbon nanostructure by etching of the substrate, yielding a sensor wherein the resonance chamber is bounded by at least the substrate and the carbon nanostructure.

    Abstract: While conductive adhesives 60 are provided between element electrodes of a pyroelectric element 10 and board electrodes of an installation board 20, the conductive adhesives 60 are hardened to connect between the element electrodes of the pyroelectric element 10 and the board electrodes of the installation board 20. The conductive adhesives 60 include epoxy resin and, after hardened, have 4 B to 7 H, both inclusive, of pencil hardness as their hardness on JIS K 5600-5-4 (ISO 15184) standard basis. If the pyroelectric element 10 is broken down, the hardened conductive adhesives 60 are impacted or are cut by using a cutter to take off the pyroelectric element 10 from the installation board 20.
