Abstract

See full text

Compact electrical connections (4) are formed on side-walls (1) of an infrared detector element having a step structure (1 to 3) over which a conductive layer (40) is deposited. Using a directional etching treatment, such as ion milling, the conductive layer (40) is removed from at least the bottom (3) of the step structure but is left lining the side-wall (1) as the connection (4). This permits formation of connections (4 and 44) in compact dense arrays, including plural-wavelength arrays in stacked bodies (10 and 20) on a circuit substrate (30).
