Abstract
We are developing X-ray microcalorimeters using superconducting transition- edge sensors (TESs), which can be operated at relatively high base temperat ures of a He-3 cryostat. For this purpose, we have selected Ti films to be used as TESs. The Ti films were deposited on different substrates by RF-spu ttering. It was found that the superconducting properties of the Ti films d epended on Ar pressure, film thickness, and substrate surface roughness. (C ) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
