Following optical pulses ($\lambda=405~\text{nm}$) on titanium nitride (TiN) Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) cooled down at temperatures $T \le T_c / 20$ ($T_c \simeq 4.6~\text{K}$), we observe a large phase-response highlighting two different modes simultaneously that are nevertheless related. The first corresponds to the well-known transition of cooper-pair breaking into quasi-particles which produces a known phase response. This is immediately followed by a large inverse response lasting several hundreds of microseconds to several milliseconds depending on the temperature. We propose to model this inverse pulse as the thermal perturbation of the superconductor and interaction with two level system (TLS) that reduces the dielectric constant which in turns modify the capacitance and therefore the resonance frequency. The ratio of the TLS responding to the illumination is on the order of that of the area of the inductor to the whole resonator, Comment: Accepted by Applied Physics Letters

KIDs (Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors) by their ability to count photons, to measure their individual energies and to acquire images at very high rates are likely to allow an observational revolution in the visible and near infrared. A MKID detector is basically an LC superconducting resonator whose intrinsic resonance frequency is fixed by the physical characteristics as well as the geometry of the inductive and capacitive parts. The detection is based on the absorption of incident photons by the inductive part, which modifies the kinetic inductance of the superconductor causing a frequency shift. Compared to CCDs, MKIDs allow a faster readout with lower noise as they do not suffer from the readout and dark current noises. In addition, MKIDs allow the implementation of a simple frequency multiplexing, paving the way to arrays comprising thousands of pixels which can be read in real time using a single readout line. The current optical MKIDs are often patterned from an inductive meander in series with an interdigitated capacitor whose size must be large enough to maintain a low resonance frequency, typically a few GHz, which can be easily measured with inexpensive and easy-to-use readout electronics. However, for the classical designs, the interdigitated capacitor can cover up to 90 % of the overall pixel surface. This is detrimental for many astrophysical applications as it leads to large pixels and a very low fill factor. This thesis work consists in implementing a new architecture where the large interdigitated capacitor is replaced by a parallel plate capacitor which features a larger capacitance value within a much smaller space allowing to strongly reduce the size of the pixels. This will lead to a higher filling factor and a better spatial resolution of optical imaging systems. I will present the design and fabrication of parallel-plate capacitor-based lumped element kinetic detector arrays using titanium nitride (TiN) as a superconducting absorber, as well as promising experimental results obtained between 70 and 300 mK.; Les MKIDs (Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors) par leurs aptitudes à compter les photons, à mesurer leurs énergies individuelles et à acquérir des images à très haute cadence sont susceptibles de permettre une révolution observationnelle dans le visible et l’infrarouge proche. Un détecteur MKID est un résonateur supraconducteur LC dont la fréquence de résonance intrinsèque est fixée par les caractéristiques physiques ainsi que la géométrie des parties inductives et capacitives. La détection est basée sur l'absorption de photons incidents par la partie inductive, qui modifie l'inductance cinétique du supraconducteur provoquant un décalage fréquentiel. Comparativement aux CCDs, les MKIDs permettent des vitesses de lecture plus rapide à des niveaux de bruit plus faibles car ils ne souffrent ni de bruit de lecture ni de bruit de courant d’obscurité. De plus, les MKIDs permettent de réaliser un multiplexage fréquentiel simple, ouvrant la voie à la réalisation de matrices comportant des milliers de pixels lus en temps réel avec une seule ligne de lecture. Les MKIDs optiques actuels sont souvent définis à partir d’un méandre inductif en série avec une capacité interdigitée. Afin de maintenir des fréquences de résonance relativement basse, typiquement quelques GHz, celle-ci doit être large et peut occuper jusqu’à 90% de la taille d’un pixel. Dans le cadre de ce travail de thèse, nous proposons une nouvelle conception qui consiste à remplacer la capacité interdigitée par une capacité parallèle plus compacte, permettant de réduire considérablement la taille du pixel. Ceci a permis d’atteindre un plus grand facteur de remplissage en vue, entre autres, d’une meilleure résolution spatiale des imageurs optiques dédiés à l’astronomie.

- Abstract
We designed, fabricated and characterized parallel-plate capacitor lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) to operate at near-infrared and optical wavelengths (0.3 -1 μm). The widely used interdigitated capacitor is replaced by a parallel-plate capacitor which, for a given resonance frequency, has a larger capacitance value within a much smaller space allowing to strongly reduce the size of the pixels. The parallel-plate capacitor LEKID array comprises 10 × 10 pixels. The inductive meander is patterned from stoichiometric 52 nm-thick TiN film (Tc ≈4.6 K). The parallel-plate capacitor is made of a TiN base electrode, Al
2 O3 dielectric and Nb upper electrode. More than 90 resonances out of 100 within the 0.994-1.278 GHz band were identified. The resonances exhibit internal Q-factors up to ∼370 000 at 72 mK. The array was illuminated using a white light and 890 nm monochromatic near infrared LEDs. The estimated quasiparticle lifetime is τqp≈13 µs.- Published
