Suppressed Critical Current in Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors With High Fill-Factors

In this work we present a new fabrication process that enabled the fabrication of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors SNSPD with fill-factors as high as 88% with gaps between nanowires as small as 12 nm. This fabrication process combined high-resolution electron-beam lithography with ph...
