Side-wall spacer passivated sub-<i>μ</i>m Josephson junction fabrication process

Side-wall spacer passivated sub-<i>μ</i>m Josephson junction fabrication process

We present a structure and a fabrication method for superconducting tunnel junctions down to the dimensions of 200 nm using i-line UV lithography. The key element is a side-wall-passivating spacer structure (SWAPS) which is shaped for smooth crossline contacting and low parasitic capacitance. The SWAPS structure enables formation of junctions …
