Abstract

The response of a detector fabricated on a silicon substrate in the form of a metamaterial that is a 10 × 10 matrix of split rings containing superconductor-insulator-normal metal-insulator-superconductor tunnel structures to submillimeter wave radiation has been experimentally studied. At voltages below the superconducting gap, the electron temperature Te at the substrate temperature T ∼ 0.1 K is ∼0.23 K due to overheating by spurious radiation. At the substrate temperature T ∼ 0.3 K, the electron temperature is close to the substrate temperature Te ≈ T. In both cases, with increasing voltage, Te decreases due to electron cooling and reaches 0.19 K at a voltage corresponding to the maximum response. The response at T = 0.1 K is greater than that at T ∼ 0.3 K by a factor of 5–6. Thus, cooling of only electrons does not provide the same responsivity as cooling of the detector as a whole.
