As scanning tunnelling microscopy is pushed towards fast local dynamics, a quantitative understanding of tunnel junctions under the influence of a fast AC driving signal is required, especially at the ultra-low temperatures relevant to spin dynamics and correlated electron states. We subject a superconductor-insulator-superconductor junction to a microwave signal from an antenna mounted in situ and examine the DC response of the contact to this driving signal. Basic quasi-particle tunnelling can be interpreted using a modified density of states in the electrodes. The situation is more complex when it comes to higher order effects such as multiple Andreev reflections. Microwave assisted tunnelling unravel these complex processes, providing deeper insights into tunnelling than are available in a pure DC measurement.
