An infrared thermal sensor for sensing infrared radiation is disclosed. The infrared thermal sensor comprises a substrate and a cap structure together forming a sealed cavity, a membrane arranged in said cavity for receiving infrared radiation (IR) through a window or aperture and a plurality of beams for suspending the membrane. At least one beam has a thermocouple arranged therein or thereon for measuring a temperature difference (ΔT) between the membrane and the substrate, the plurality of beams. Furthermore at least one beam is mechanically supporting the membrane without a thermocouple being present therein or thereon. |
