Scientific paper

We report recent advances in our NTD germanium-based microcalorimeters that result in an energy resolution of 3 eV FWHM for 6 keV x-rays. We have developed a detailed model which indicates that further minor improvements will realize 2 eV FWHM at 6 keV and well under 2 eV at 1 keV. Adapting these technological improvements to microcalorimeters optimized for hard x-rays will make it possible to achieve quantum efficiencies greater than 50 maintaining an energy resolution of 50 eV or better. Incorporating these advances into microcalorimeter arrays will be discussed.
