Abstract(in English) We are developing Superconducting Tunnel Junction detector using hafnium (Hf-STJ) as a far-infrared single photon detector for COsmic BAckground Neutrino Decay search (COBAND) experiment. We have successfully produced a superconductor-insulator-superconductor structure using hafnium. However, it is found to suffer from a large leakage current and needs modification of the Hf-STJ to reduce it. Rough surface of hafnium layer makes defect of insulator. We modified the sputtering condition to make smooth hafnium layer, then we obtained two new sputtering conditions. These conditions have surface RMS of 2.5 nm and 0.93 nm respectively. We have developed two Hf-STJs using these two parameters respectively. We report characteristics of these Hf-STJs.
