Abstract
Superconducting vibrating wires are widely used in low-temperature measurem ents. We report on the fabrication of silicon micromechanical resonators co vered by a superconducting layer. These resonators are designed to be vibra ting wire thermometers adapted for ultra-low-temperature experiments. We de scribe the first tests at 4.2 K. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
