abstract = {This work deals with the development of superconducting Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) for highly sensitive radio astronomy receivers within W-band (75 to 110 GHz). A bilayer based on superconducting titanium/aluminum (Ti/Al) thin films has been used for assessing its absorption performance in this frequency band at millikelvin temperature. A lumped-element inductor based on a 4th order Hilbert structure is designed to absorb the incoming radiation in two orthogonal linear polarizations. The development of a large-format camera prototype is presented. On one hand, ambient temperature quasi-optical characterization demonstrates a suitable absorption for both polarizations within the W-band. On the other hand, dark cryogenic characterization confirms the successful operation of the multiplexed KID devices providing high-quality factors and an operation yield of 97%. These results confirm these developments to be used in future polarimeter receivers.},
