Vahtomin YB, Finkel MI, Antipov SV, Voronov BM, Smirnov KV, Kaurova NS, et al. Gain bandwidth of phonon-cooled HEB mixer made of NbN thin film with MgO buffer layer on Si. In: Harvard university, editor. Proc. 13th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Cambridge, MA, USA; 2002. p. 259–70.
Abstract: We present recently obtained values for gain bandwidth of NbN HEB mixers for different substrates and film thicknesses and for MgO buffer layer on Si at LO frequency of 0.85-1 THz. The maximal bandwidth, 5.2 GHz, was achieved for the device on MgO buffer layer on Si with a 2 nm thick NbN film. Functional devices based on NbN films of such thickness were fabricated for the first time due to an improvement of superconducting properties of NbN film deposited on MgO buffer layer on Si substrate.
