Thermopile infrared (IR) sensors are thermal-type sensors. It is of great significance to evaluate its four thermal parameters: Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductance, heat capacitance, and thermal time constant. In this work, an effective self-test method to measure these thermal parameters is proposed that takes advantages of ther-mopile IR sensors' structural and electrical characteristics and does not need to add heater in structure. The technique to accurately extract thermal parameters is analyzed carefully, and its validity is verified by a ther-mopile IR sensor. The experimental Seebeck coefficient is consistent with the tested value of on-chip test structure in the same die, and the experimental thermal conductance, heat capacitance, and thermal time con-stant results agree well with the theoretical analysis of structure. These demonstrate that this method is effective and accurate, as well as simple for researchers to apply.
