Abstract
The design of a metamaterial-based absorber for use in a mid-IR microspectrometer-based gas sensor is reported.The microspectrometer consists of a linear variable optical filter (LVOF) that is aligned with an array of thermopiledetectors, which is fabricated on a SiN membrane and covered with the absorber. Special emphasis was put on theCMOS compatible fabrication, which resulted in an absorber design based on aluminium disk resonators and analuminium background plane that are separated by a SiO2 layer. The fabrication process is described, and thechallenges are discussed.
