Infrared detector with metal-black coating having dielectric overlayer and related methods

摘要

An infrared (IR) detector may include a substrate, circuitry carried by the substrate, and a metal-black layer over the thermometric element. The circuitry may include a thermometric element with a measurable thermometric property. The IR detector may include a dielectric layer covering the metal-black layer, and the circuitry provides a value for IR radiation absorbed by the metal-black layer.
