| Abstract | This paper presents the theoretical modeling and experimental verification of an innovative Nano Electro Mechanical System (NEMS) technology suitable for the implementation of ultra-fast and high resolution un-cooled thermal detectors. Fundamental challenges associated to the implementation of mechanically resonant thermal detectors are overcome with the introduction of an innovative technology platform in which a temperature sensitive Aluminum Nitride (AlN) nano-plate resonator and a monolithically integrated micromachined suspended heat absorbing element are perfectly overlapped but separated by a sub-micron air gap. By placing the absorbing element outside the body of the resonator (but suspended over it) the electromechanical performance of the resonant device is not affected by the absorbing element and the material employed to implement it (quality factor, Q≈1800 and electromechanical coupling coefficient, $k^{2}≈1%)$ enabling the use of a compact and low-power self-sustained oscillator circuit as direct frequency readout. At the same time, efficient and quick heat transfer from the absorbing element to the nanomechanical resonant device is achieved by minimizing the air gap between them. The detection capabilities of this first prototype were tested using an integrated resistive heat source in lieu of an absorber. Power level as low as 655 nW was readily detected and a limit of detection of 48 nW was experimentally extracted. In addition a thermal time constant of ∼ 60 μs was predicted for this prototype through finite element simulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
