Abstract

This paper describes the fabrication of the submillimetre band prototype detector array, which is destined for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Each pixel in the 5120 element SCUBA-2 array (Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array) consists of a/4 thick silicon brick suspended on. a silicon nitride membrane. The detector uses Transition Edge Sensors (TES) technology resulting in a 10¹⁷W (1 Hz bandwidth) sensitivity to incoming radiation.
