“…Since the 1980s, several research groups around the world have tried to miniaturize JT cryocoolers (Chorowski et al, 1994;Garvey et al, 1983;Holland et al, 1998;Lerou et al, 2006;Lin et al, 2010;Mikulin et al, 1992;Park et al, 2008;Zhu et al, 2011). Most of the microcooler designs were based on a Linde-Hampson cooling cycle with a single JT expansion.…”

“…This cooling effect is amplified by pre-cooling the incoming highpressure gas in a counter flow heat exchanger (CFHX). Several studies on the miniaturization of JT cryocoolers are dealt with the optimization of the CFHX and the various techniques for manufacturing the cold stage [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. MEMS technology has been identified as one of the most promising technologies in this respect because of its high fabrication accuracy and possibility of batch processing.…”

Cryogenic temperatures are required for improving the performance of electronic devices and for operating superconducting sensors and circuits. The broad implementation of cooling these devices has long been constrained by the availability of reliable and low cost cryocoolers. After the successful development of single-stage micromachined coolers able to cool to 100 K, we now present a micromachined two-stage microcooler that cools down to 30 K from an ambient temperature of 295 K. The first stage of the microcooler operates at about 94 K with nitrogen gas and pre-cools the second stage operating with hydrogen gas. The microcooler is made from just three glass wafers and operates with modest high-pressure gases and without moving parts facilitating high yield fabrication of these microcoolers. We have successfully cooled a YBCO film through its superconducting transition state to demonstrate a load on the microcooler at cryogenic temperatures. This work could expedite the application of superconducting and electronic sensors and detectors among others in medical and space applications.
