Abstract
NASAʹs Constellation-X (Con-X) mission is a driver for advancing low-temperature detector technologies, requiring 1000-pixel two-dimensional arrays with >95% filling fraction and quantum efficiency at 6 keV and better than 4 eV energy resolution for 1–10 keV photons. We describe a robust transition edge sensor fabrication process that can produce detector arrays with integrated absorbers approaching the specifications of Con-X. We address issues such as the methods of superconducting bilayer deposition, detector geometry definition, and absorber interface.
