Superconducting sensors have a sensitivity that cannot be achieved by other sensors. High sensitivity means that things that were previously invisible can now be seen. Although superconducting sensors have excellent performance, a drawback is that the effective area per pixel is small. To overcome this, the superconducting industry has focused on three-dimensional implementation, which is rarely pursued. Three-dimensional implementation involves stacking substrates that contain the devices in the vertical direction. The advantage of this is that, whereas devices could only be arranged in a plane, or two-dimensional space, the arrangement can now be extended in the height direction. While it is a simple structure, realizing it is quite challenging, and we are making progress in our research step by step while discussing it with students every day.
