1. An infrared sensor comprising:
a semiconductor substrate on which a pyroelectric sensor region, a thermopile region, and a logic circuit region are provided; a thin-film pyroelectric element made of lead titanate zirconate and disposed in the pyroelectric sensor region; a coating film coating the pyroelectric element and having a topmost surface forming a light receiving surface for infrared rays; a cavity in the semiconductor substrate and formed at a top surface of the semiconductor substrate at a portion opposite to the pyroelectric element and thermally isolating the pyroelectric element from the semiconductor substrate; and a thermocouple disposed in the thermopile region, wherein the pyroelectric sensor region and the thermopile region are consolidated and formed in a central region of the semiconductor substrate so as to be surrounded by the logic circuit region. |
