Abstract

This is a novel conductive-polymer optical coating for infrared detection and method of making the same. The system may comprise an integrated circuit substrate itself comprising a plurality of mesas and comprising via connections on an upper portion of each of the mesas. The system further comprises a plurality of backside electrical contacts bonded to the via connections, a plurality of infrared-sensitive pixels overlying the electrical contacts, and a conductive-polymer optical coating overlying and electrically connecting the pixels. A method of forming an embodiment of the present invention may comprise forming a conductive-polymer optical coating over a substrate, forming a contact metal on a backside of the substrate, and processing the contact metal, the substrate and the common electrode to form capacitor pixels of the contact metal, the substrate and the corresponding portion of the optical coating.
