Application No. 08/788,313
1. A method for fabricating a hybrid thermal
detector structure, comprising the steps of:
reticulating at least three pixels in a
pyroelectric material;
depositing an electrically conductive layer on a
first side of said pixels;
depositing a precursor film on said electrically
conductive layer;
gelling said precursor film to form a porous
film;
attaching electrical contacts to a second side
of said pixels; and
coupling said electrical contacts to a sensing
integrated circuit structure.
