MKIDs made from alternating stacks of Ti and TiN have shown impressive results in far-IR and sub-mm detectors to date, which promises improvements for Optical to Near-IR MKIDs. TiN/Ti/TiN tri-layers offer different advantages between sub-stoichiometric and stoichiometric recipes. We will elaborate on …

Abstract Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are photon detectors comprised of superconducting LC resonators with unique resonant frequencies corresponding to their geometrical structure. As each pixel has its own geometry, electromagnetic simulations by hand of every pixel in a kilo-pixel array are …
