We report on a hot-electron micro-bolometer fabricated by electron beam lithography consisting of a small normal-metal absorber capacitively coupled to a planar antenna. Both the thermometer and the coupling capacitors are made by sub-micron normal metal-insulator-superconductor junctions. By adding two extra Andreev contacts to the absorber it is possible to characterize the bolometer by de measurements. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract
We report on a hot-electron micro-bolometer fabricated by electron beam lithography consisting of a small normal-metal absorber capacitively coupled to a planar antenna. Both the thermometer and the coupling capacitors are made by sub-micron normal metal-insulator-superconductor junctions. By adding two extra Andreev contacts to the absorber it is possible to characterize the bolometer by de measurements. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.File in questo prodotto:
