For the incident light absorption causing a heat generation, a heavily doped (n(+)) Si waveguide is introduced to utilize the mechanism of free-carrier absorption (FCA), and a metal (Au) strip is deposited onto the n(+) Si waveguide to further enhance the light absorption. A bolometric material of TiOx/Ti/TiOx tri-layer film is integrated for the thermal-to-electrical conversion. As a result, it exhibits superior performances, which are the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of -2.296%/K and the maximum sensitivity of -46.45%/mW with a low wavelength-dependency. In addition, a rapid response time is obtained with the rise/fall time of 24.6 mu s/29.8 mu s, which is enough for a variety of optical sensing applications. This work demonstrates the waveguide-based bolometric photodetection using the FCA effect, for the first time to our knowledge, which can also be simply extended for the operation wavelength range to the mid-infrared (MIR) spectral region for bio/chemical sensing applications.
