Description
We are currently developing thermal kinetic inductance detectors (TKIDs) for CMB observations and millimeter wave spectroscopy. TKIDs use the temperature dependance of a KID-like high Q resonator as a drop in replacement to TESes, granting bolometric arrays the ease of KID-like readout. We will report on the laboratory performance of an array of antenna coupled KIDs designed for CMB observations at the South Pole. We will also report on early stage work developing lower Tc high resistivity TKIDs that would operated background limited under the lower loading environments of space CMB observatories or the narrow bandwidths typical of millimeter wave spectrometers.
