Abstract

In an infrared detection sensor according to the present invention, all material constituting an upper portion of a sensing electrode in a supporting arm region is removed so that a supporting arm has low thermal conductivity. As a result, thermal conductivity of the infrared sensor structure is reduced, and the infrared detection sensor has excellent sensitivity.
