ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a micro-electrical-mechanical system with thermally isolated active elements. Such a system may embody a bolometer, which is well suited for detecting electromagnetic radiation between 90 GHz and 30 THz while operating at room temperature. The method also discloses a generalized process for manufacturing circuitry incorporating active and passive micro-electrical-mechanical systems in a silicon wafer.
