Abstract

A bolometer (10) comprises a first and a second suspension beam (12, 13) and a semiconductor portion (11) that is suspended by the first and the second suspension beam (12, 13) and comprises a first region (17) of a first conductivity type and a second region (18) of a second conductivity type. The first region (17) comprises a first triangle (21) or at least two stripes (40, 41) or islands (60, 61) which each contribute to a non-short-circuited diode (20) with the second region (18).
