Ultra high responsivity bridge uncooled infrared microbolometers based on Mn-Co-Ni-O thin-film

Key Points

• Infrared microbolometers show a remarkable increase in responsivity due to Mn-Co-Ni-O thin-film materials.
• The response metric reached an impressive level of sensitivity, enhancing infrared detection up to 10 times.
• Observational analysis focused on the properties of thin-film materials in microbolometer technology.
• Improved infrared sensitivity may enable advances in thermal imaging applications, calling for broader testing.
