Funded Activity Summary

Thermal engineering in semiconductor heterojunction for space transducers . Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) transducers, including sensors and actuators, are essential for space applications. However, MEMS transducers have not yet provided compelling performance for the space industry as they typically experience degradation of performance when subjected to elevated temperature and radiation. This research aims to develop an innovative transducer technology that uses a temperature gradient to enhance performance and a radiation-hard material to ensure reliability and longevity. Expected outcomes include improved understanding of transducer performance under temperature gradient, appropriate material selection, and design recommendations for high-performance transducers with applications in space and defence.
