Abstract(in English) Superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) detectors can theoretically achieve several ten times higher energy resolution than conventional semiconductor detectors and are expected to be applied to X-ray fluorescence analysis of trace light elements in next-generation power semiconductors such as SiC and GaN. However, since current STJs are integrated on Si substrate, signals generated by high-energy X-rays absorbed in the Si substrate overlap with characteristic X-ray peaks of the trace light elements, making trace light element analysis difficult. In order to prevent X-ray absorption directly under the STJs, we proposed a new structure in which the STJs are integrated on a freestanding membrane by removing the Si substrate directly under the STJs. In this study, we evaluated leakage current and fabrication yield of the new structure by current-voltage characteristics.
