An infrared image sensor encompasses (a) a base body, (b) a plurality of signal
lines disposed on the base body, (c) a plurality of address lines intersecting
the signal lines, (d) a plurality of detector portions provided in the cross region
of the signal lines and the address lines, each of the detector portions being
connected between the corresponding signal line and the address line, each of the
detector portions is configured to detect infrared-ray, (e) a plurality of supporting
beams supporting each of the detector portions above the base body, and (f) a plurality
of contactors configured to contact each of the detector portions with the base
body thermally so as to transport thermal energy to be accumulated in each of the
detector portions toward the base body.
