Improvements in silicon oxide dielectric loss for superconducting microwave detector circuits

January 24, 2013

Author(s)

Dale Li, Jason Austermann, James A. Beall, Daniel T. Becker, Hsiao-Mei Cho, Anna E. Fox, Nils Halverson, Jason Henning, Gene C. Hilton, Johannes Hubmayr, Jeffrey L. Van Lanen, John P. Nibarger, Michael D. Niemack, Kent D. Irwin

Dielectric loss in low-temperature superconducting integrated circuits can cause lower overall efficiency, particularly in the 90 to 220 GHz regime. We present a method to tune the dielectric loss for silicon oxide deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical

Silicon platelet corrugated feedhorn for cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements in the mm wave (130 to 170 GHz) have been developed for deployment for the polarization sensitive upgrade to both the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACTpol) and the South
