X-ray Microcalorimeter Arrays Fabricated by Surface Micromachining

March 1, 2004
Author(s)
Gene C. Hilton, James A. Beall, Steven Deiker, Leila R. Vale, W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Joern Beyer, Joel Ullom, Carl D. Reintsema, Yizi Xu, Kent D. Irwin
We are developing arrays of Mo/Cu TES-based detectors for use as as x-ray microcalorimeters and sub-mm bolometers. We have fabricated 8 x 8 pixel x-ray microcalorimeter arrays pixel using surface micromachining techniques. This surface-micromachining

A Time-Domain SQUID multiplexer for readout of x-ray microcalorimeter arrays

W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Jonathan Beall, Joern Beyer, Steven Deiker, S. L. Ferreira, Gene C. Hilton, Kent D. Irwin, John M. Martinis, Sae Woo Nam, Carl D. Reintsema, Joel Ullom, Leila R. Vale
SQUID multiplexers are being developed at NIST for the readout of large arrays of transition-edge-sensor (TES) detectors. Applications for these arrays include x-ray materials analysis on a scanning-electron microscope and astronomical cameras for x-ray

Suppression of excess noise in transition-edge sensors using magnetic field and geometry

December 17, 2003

Joel N. Ullom, William B. Doriese, Gene C. Hilton, James A. Beall, Steven Deiker, Kent D. Irwin, Carl D. Reintsema, Leila R. Vale, Yizi Xu
We report recent progress at NIST on Mo/Cu Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs). While the signal- band noise of our sensors agrees with theory, we observe excess high-frequency noise. We describe this noise and demonstrate that it can be heavily suppressed by a

In-focal-plane SQUID multiplexer
