Abstract
A method for producing a bolometric detector comprising producing a stack, on an interconnect level of a read-out circuit, comprising a sacrificial layer positioned between a carrier layer and an etch stop layer, the sacrificial layer comprising a mineral material; producing a conducting via passing through the stack such that it is in contact with a conducting portion of said interconnect level; depositing a conducting layer onto the carrier layer and the via; etching the conducting layer and the carrier layer, forming a bolometer membrane electrically connected to the via by a remaining portion of the conducting layer that covers an upper part of the via; and elimination of the sacrificial layer by selective chemical etching, and such that the membrane is suspended by the via.
