| Abstract | This report documents progress made in the first six months on NASA contract NASW-5034. The goal of this project is to: (1) fabricate microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based components as highly sensitive pressure transducers and (2) incorporate those transducers into a prototype instrument for the measurement of thermospheric and mesospheric neutral winds. The MEMS based components are tunnel displacement transducers (TDT's). TDT's are a new technology available because of simultaneous advances in microelectronics fabrication techniques, silicon micromechanics, and the use of quantum mechanical tunneling in robust, manufacturable devices. |
