Abstract:
A method for producing a bolometric detector comprising: producing a stack, on an interconnect level of a read-out circuit, comprising a sacrificial layer positioned between a carrier layer and an etch stop layer, the sacrificial layer comprising a mineral material; producing a conducting via passing through the stack such that it is in contact with a conducting portion of said interconnect level; depositing a conducting layer onto the carrier layer and the via; etching the conducting layer and the carrier layer, forming a bolometer membrane electrically connected to the via by a remaining portion of the conducting layer that covers an upper part of the via; elimination of the sacrificial layer by selective chemical etching, and such that the membrane is suspended by the via.

Claim (Index 2):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the stack of layers further comprises a second etch stop layer such that the carrier layer is positioned between the second etch stop layer and the sacrificial layer, the method further comprising, between the production of the via and the deposition of the electrically conducting layer, the implementation of the following steps of:\n removing a layer of electrically conducting material formed on the second etch stop layer during production of the via, then eliminating the second etch stop layer, and wherein the electrically conducting layer is deposited such that the remaining portion of the electrically conducting layer also covers the sides of the upper part of the via uncovered by the elimination of the second etch stop layer.
