Hybrid Subtractive-Additive Method Of Producing A Superconducting Multi-Layer Transition-Edge Sensor

NIST Inventors

Dan Schmidt and Joel Weber

The proposed invention is a method of producing a superconducting multi-layer transition-edge sensor in which the first layer of the multi-layer is deposited and patterned completely with a subtractive process before the subsequent layers deposited and patterned using separate additive processes

Superconducting Multi-layer Transition-edge Sensor And Hybrid Subtractive-additive Production Of A Superconducting Multi-layer Transition-edge Sensor

NIST Inventors

Dan Schmidt and Joel Weber

Hybrid subtractive-additive production of a superconducting multi-layer transition-edge sensor includes: forming a superconductor layer; forming a patterning photoresist on the superconductor layer; forming a sensor pattern in the patterning photoresist; subtractively forming, from the

Recessed Carbon Nanotube Article and Method for Making Same

NIST Inventors

Chris Yung , Nathan A Tomlin and Dan Schmidt

A microbolometer structure including carbon nanotubes, a substrate (silicon, alumina, etc.) with an array of micromachined wells/holes/pockets, a weak thermal link (membrane or legs) at the base of each well/hole/pocket, a protection layer bonded to substrate over the wells for subsequent back side
