HEB devices were produced from thin superconducting NbN film 3.5-6 nm thick with the critical temperature of about 11-12 K. For these devices we achieved the receiver noise temperature T R (DSB) = 3000 K in the 500-700 GHz frequency range and an IF bandwidth of 3-4 GHz. Prelimanary measurements at frequencies 1-1.2 THz resulted the receiver noise temperature about 9000 K (DSB).", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1614), last updated on Wed, 26 May 2021 12:39:05 -0500", opturl="https://www.nrao.edu/meetings/isstt/1996.shtml" }
