Abstract
We investigated silicon as a promising material for a IR transparent window platform of IR(Infrared Ray) sensors with WLP(wafer level package), because silicon has advantages in price and CMOS process compatibility compared to Ge window although Ge exhibits higher IR transmittance than Si. Having comparable transmittance to Ge is the key to use silicon as a IR transparent window platform. We compared several types of AR coating films, SiN, SiO2, only ZnS, and Ge/ZnS for finding the condition of maximizing transmittance of Si in the range of 8 ~12 um , LW-IR(Longwave IR). Also we investigated changing of transmittance for LW-IR after thermal treatments in several ambient gases and several temperatures.
