Abstract
A device includes: a substrate; a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) including a superconductor trace arranged on an upper surface of the substrate and having at least one Josephson junction interrupting a path of the superconductor trace, in which the superconductor trace includes a first superconductor material that exhibits superconducting properties at or below a corresponding superconducting critical temperature; and a dielectric capping layer on an upper surface of the SQUID, in which the dielectric capping layer covers a majority of the superconductor trace of the SQUID, and the capping layer includes an opening through which a first region of the SQUID is exposed, the first region of the SQUID including a first Josephson junction.
