Abstract
In this paper, we report on the design, fabrication and characterization of a slot antenna on quarter wavelength silicon substrate coupled to a Titanium microbolometer for detection at 94 GHz. The detector was fabricated using conventional photolithographic and microfabrication techniques. The detector exhibited a responsivity of 0.779 V/W, a noise equivalent power (NEP) of 10.2 nW/√Hz, and a time constant of 3.88 μsec.
