Abstract
A technique relates to a superconducting airbridge on a structure. A first ground plane, resonator, and second ground plane are formed on a substrate. A first lift-off pattern is formed of a first lift-off resist and a first photoresist. The first photoresist is deposited on the first lift-off resist. A superconducting sacrificial layer is deposited while using the first lift-off pattern. The first lift-off pattern is removed. A cross-over lift-off pattern is formed of a second lift-off resist and a second photoresist. The second photoresist is deposited on the second lift-off resist. A cross-over superconducting material is deposited to be formed as the superconducting airbridge while using the cross-over lift-off pattern. The cross-over lift-off pattern is removed. The superconducting airbridge is formed to connect the first and second ground planes by removing the superconducting sacrificial layer underneath the cross-over superconducting material. The superconducting airbridge crosses over the resonator.
