Supercond.", year="2009", volume="19", number="3", pages="318--322", optkeywords="SNSPD", abstract="In this work we present a new fabrication process that enabled the fabrication of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors SNSPD with fill-factors as high as 88{\%} with gaps between nanowires as small as 12 nm. This fabrication process combined high-resolution electron-beam lithography with photolithography. Although this work was motivated by the potential of increased detection efficiency with higher fill-factor devices, test results showed an unexpected systematic suppression in device critical currents with increasing fill-factor.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=677), last updated on Sun, 22 May 2016 16:21:10 -0500" }
