Superconducting Structure and Device Surface Termination with Alloy

Abstract:

A method of fabricating a superconductor device includes providing a first metal layer on top of the substrate. An oxidation of a top surface of the first metal layer is rejected. A second metal layer is deposited on top of the second metal layer. A superconducting alloy of the first metal layer and the second metal layer is created between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. There is no oxide layer between the superconducting alloy and the first metal layer.
