SP - 40 KW - silicon-membrane HEB waveguide mixer AB - We report on our initial development towards a 2x2 multi-pixel HEB waveguide mixer for operation at 1.4 THz. We have successfully fabricated devices comprising an NbN bridge integrated with antenna test structure using a silicon membrane as the supporting substrate. DC measurements of the test chips demonstrate critical current from 0.1 - 1mA depending on the size of device, with T c of around 10 K and ΔTc ~ 0.8 K.
