Abstract
Examples described in this disclosure relate to superconducting devices, including reciprocal quantum logic (RQL) compatible devices. A superconducting device including at least one superconducting element having a first coefficient of thermal expansion is provided. The at least one superconducting element is formed on a dielectric layer having a second coefficient of thermal expansion and the first coefficient of thermal expansion is different from the second coefficient of thermal expansion causing a strain mismatch between the at least one superconducting element and the dielectric layer when the superconducting device is operating in a cryogenic environment. The superconducting device may also include at least one dummy element configured to lower stress at an interface between the at least one superconducting element and the dielectric layer when the at least one superconducting device is operating in the cryogenic environment.
