Abstract

A process for fabricating a detecting device includes producing a getter pad based on amorphous carbon resting on a mineral sacrificial layer that covers a thermal detector and producing a thin encapsulating layer that rests on the mineral sacrificial layer and that covers an upper face and sidewalls of the getter pad. The mineral sacrificial layer is removed via a first chemical etch, and a protective segment of the getter pad is removed via a second chemical etch.
