Enhancement of optical response in nanowires by negative-tone PMMA lithography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The method of negative-tone-PMMA electron-beam lithography is investigated to improve the performance of nanowire-based superconducting detectors. Using this approach, the superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have been fabricated from thick 5-nm NbN film sputtered at the room temperature.
