We calculate the dependence of heat capacity of a free standing thin membrane on its thickness and temperature. A remarkable fact is that for a given temperature there exists a minimum in the dependence of the heat capacity on the thickness. The ratio of the heat capacity to its minimal value for a given temperature is a universal function of the ratio of the thickness to its value corresponding to the minimum. The minimal value of the heat capacitance for given temperature is proportional to the temperature squared. Our analysis can be used, in particular, for optimizing support membranes for microbolometers.
