In recent years Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have emerged as one of the most promising novel low temperature detector technologies. Their unrivaled scalability makes them very attractive for many modern applications and scientific instruments. In this paper we intend to give an overview of how and where MKIDs are currently being used or are suggested to be used in the future. MKID based projects are ongoing or proposed for observational astronomy, particle physics, material science and THz imaging, and the goal of this review is to provide an easily usable and thorough list of possible starting points for more in-depth literature research on the many areas profiting from kinetic inductance detectors.

“…Usually, polarimetric systems are based on gas lasers emitting in the THz range which pose many issues with reliability, safety, and stability. A possible alternative approach involves a Quantum Cascade Laser, but due to its low power this new source comes with a need for an extremely sensitive detector, such as MKIDs [153].…”

This study investigated the relationship between the superconducting properties, electrical properties, sputtering process parameters, and post-growth annealing of NbN films. Four series of NbN films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering using different process parameters. With the assistance of a four-probe method, the superconducting performance presented first an increase and then a decreasing trend as the resistance of the prepared films increased, which could be attributed to the variation of the N/Nb ratio in the films. This correlation implied that it is very challenging to fabricate films with both high Tc and high resistance or high Tc and low resistance by adjusting the sputtering process parameters. In order to overcome these bottlenecks, a series of films were deposited on Si, GaN/Si, SiN/Si, AlN/Si, and AlN/sapphire substrates, and the film deposited on Si was annealed at 900 °C. Annealing reduced the stress of the films on the buffer layer and increased the grain size and crystallinity of the films, except for the films on the GaN/Si substrates. This resulted in a significant decrease in the resistivity of the film and a significant increase in the superconducting transition temperature.
