We report progress on the development of x-ray microcalorimeter thermal kinetic inductance detector (TKID) arrays, where each TKID is an independent pixel. Our goal in developing this detector technology is to arrive at high quantum efficiency, high fill factor, large-format, moderate energy resolution x-ray detector array which can be readily scaled to tens of kilo-pixels, to be used as an x-ray imaging spectrograph for astronomy and metrology applications. We discuss the evolution of the design, how it has been driven by fabrication related constraints, and the resulting impacts on detector performance.
我们报告了X射线微热量计热动力电感探测器(TKID)阵列的开发进展,其中每个TKID都是一个独立像素。我们开发这种探测器技术的目标是获得一种具有高量子效率、高填充因子、大幅面、中等能量分辨率的X射线探测器阵列,该阵列可轻松扩展到数十千像素,用作天文学和计量学应用的X射线成像光谱仪。我们讨论了设计的演变过程,它是如何受到与制造相关的限制驱动的,以及对探测器性能产生的影响。
