Abstract: A radiation detector includes a substrate and a membrane suspended above the substrate by spacers, wherein the spacers electrically contact a radiation sensor formed in the membrane and thermally insulate the membrane from the substrate.

Abstract: A radiation detector with a substrate and a membrane, which is suspended above the substrate by a spacer is described, wherein the spacer thermally insulates a radiation sensor, which is formed in the membrane, from the substrate. Further, the spacer includes a first layer, which is electrically conducting and contacts a first pole of the radiation sensor and of the substrate, and a second layer, which is electrically conducting and electrically insulated from the first electrically conductive layer and contacts a second pole of the radiation sensor and of the substrate, wherein the second pole differs in polarity from the first pole.

Abstract: The finding that with a reasonable effort a layer thickness and/or refractive index variation may be acquired which realizes different internal optical path lengths for impinging radiation whereby fluctuation of spectral sensitivity of the photodetector is reduced is used to provide image sensors with a less fluctuating spectral sensitivity with respect to different wavelengths, or photodetectors with a small fluctuation of the spectral sensitivity from photodetector to photodetector with respect to defined wavelengths, with a reasonable effort.
