Nanoprobers for manufacturing of uniform helium ion Josephson junctions

Abstract

Helium gas-field-ion beam fabrication of ceramic high-transition-temperaturesuperconducting nanowires and Josephson junctions has enabled new approaches to superconductive quantum electronics. To support our research in this area at UC Riverside we propose the acquisition of a nano-electrical robotic probe system that will be installed inside of the chamber of our helium ion microscope. This equipment will allow us to monitor the electrical resistance of Josephson devices while they are being made to ensure that each device has the same resistance. Improvement to our device uniformity and process yield will have a great impact on several active DOD research efforts.
