        Title: Process for Fabrication of Improved Resistive 
    Microbolometers.
        Description: In this relatively uncomplicated and reproducible 
    process for fabricating microbolometers, an ultrathin layer of niobium 
    is used as the detector element, and the wafer is cleaned in situ in a 
    low-pressure evaporation system, to provide an instrument having a 
    substantially lower noise level than conventional microbolometers.
