Abstract
An amorphous silicon (a-Si) dielectric for superconducting electronics is fabricated with reduced loss tangent by fluorine passivation throughout the bulk of the layer. Complete layers or thinner sub-layers of a-Si are formed by physical vapor deposition at low temperatures (<350 C, e.g. ˜200 C) to prevent reaction with superconducting materials, then exposed to fluorine. The fluorine may be a component of a gas or plasma, or it may be a component of an interface layer. The fluorine is driven into the a-Si by heat (e.g., <350 C) or impact to passivate defects such as dangling bonds.
