Abstract
A two-dimensional SQIF array and methods for manufacture can include at least two bi-SQUIDs that share an inductance. The bi-SQUIDs can be combined to establish a diamond-shaped cell. A plurality of the diamond shaped cells can be packed tightly together so that each cell shares at least three cell junctions with adjacent cells to establish the SQIF array. Because of the close proximity of the cells, the effect that the mutual inductances each cell has on adjacent cells can be accounted for, as well as the SQIF array boundary conditions along the array edges. To do this, a matrix of differential equations can be solved to provide for the recommended inductance of each bi-SQUID in the SQIF array. Each bi-SQUID can be manufactured with the recommended inductance to result in a SQIF having an increased strength of anti-peak response, but without sacrificing the linearity of the response.
