Two-Stage Cryogenic HEMT-Based Amplifier for Low-Temperature Detectors
Journal of Low Temperature Physics(2024)
摘要
To search for dark matter candidates with masses below 𝒪 (MeV), the SPLENDOR (Search for Particles of Light dark mattEr with Narrow-gap semiconDuctORs) experiment is developing novel narrow-bandgap semiconductors with electronic bandgaps on the order of 1–100 meV. In order to detect the charge signal produced by scattering or absorption events, SPLENDOR has designed a two-stage cryogenic HEMT-based amplifier with an estimated charge resolution approaching the single-electron level. A low-capacitance ( ∼ 1.6 pF) HEMT is used as a buffer stage at T = 10 mK to mitigate effects of stray capacitance at the input. The buffered signal is then amplified by a higher-capacitance ( ∼ 200 pF) HEMT amplifier stage at T = 4 K. Importantly, the design of this amplifier makes it usable with any insulating material—allowing for rapid prototyping of a variety of novel detector materials. We present the two-stage cryogenic amplifier design, preliminary voltage noise performance, and estimated charge resolution of 7.2 electrons.
