Abstract / Description of output
This paper describes the fabrication of the submillimetre band prototype detector array, which is destined for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Each pixel in the 5120 element SCUBA-2 array (Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array) consists of a/4 thick silicon brick suspended on. a silicon nitride membrane. The detector uses Transition Edge Sensors (TES) technology resulting in a 10 W (1 Hz bandwidth) sensitivity to incoming radiation.
