ABSTRACT:
A bolometric detection device for millimeter or sub-millimeter waves and a method for manufacturing this device. According to the invention, at least one bolometer (8) is formed on a support (6) which is transparent to the waves to be detected, each bolometer including a reflecting resonant cavity (10), a grid (12) thermally insulated from the support and positioned above the cavity, regular conductor patterns (14) which are formed on the grid and whose electrical impedance is matched to that of the void, and a thermometer (16) integral with the grid.
