Abstract

A pyroelectric focal plane array useful for thermal imaging applications comprises a detector (10), comprises a reticulated and aluminized pyroelectric chip (12) interfaced with a signal processor chip (14) by thermally insulating bumps (30) coated with a thin conductive layer (38) to form a plurality of thermally insulative and electronically conductive interconnections (16) between detector chips (12) and processor chip (14).
