On the other hand, two of the present inventors proposed an infrared sensing element assembly consisting of a large number of photovoltaic infrared sensing elements arranged on the surface of a single multi-component semiconductor substrate and Si.
In Japanese Patent Application No. 53-90777, we proposed an infrared detection device with an integrated structure in which a CTD and a CTD are fixedly attached to each other. The infrared detection device according to this proposal is manufactured by forming a protruding metal layer just above the pn junction of the infrared detection element and fixing the detection element to the CTD using this metal layer. However, there is a drawback that the infrared detecting element is easily damaged during this fixing process.
