Future plans at PSI
• Close SIS-STJ work in 2005
• Thesis I. Jerjen: Sensitivity of Ta-STJ to optical light
• Measure 10-50eV photons
• Collaboration with Kurakado on series-STJ fabrication and testing
• SIN Junction studies
• + S being Absorber, small gap
• + N being Si (degenerated doped).
• ++ Profit from Si technology
• + No magnetic fields
• - no backtunneling
• - low temperature (<100mK)
