Abstract
A device for detecting electromagnetic radiation is provided, including a substrate; at least one thermal detector placed on the substrate; and an encapsulating structure encapsulating the detector, including a thin encapsulating layer of a material that is transparent to said radiation, extending around and above the detector so as to define with the substrate a cavity in which the detector is located; wherein the thin encapsulating layer comprises a peripheral wall that encircles the detector, and that has a cross section, in a plane parallel to the plane of the substrate, of square or rectangular shape, corners of which are rounded.
