Superconductor-Insulator Superconductor (SIS) tunnel junctions made of NbN/MgO/NbN and Nb/AlOx/Nb, with cross-sectional areas of about 0.30 and 0.25 micrometer(Sup2) respectively, fabricated and tested for use as mixers at frequencies near 205 GHz. Cross sections must be small to make capacitances of devices acceptably small for operation at this frequency. NbN and Nb good materials choices as superconductors because of high energy gap, and mechanically and electrically rugged and chemically stable.
