abstract = {Nanobridge Josephson junctions and nanometer-scale
superconducting quantum interference devices (nanoSQUIDs)
based on titanium nitride (TiN) thin films are described.
The TiN films have a room temperature resistivity of ~15
µΩ·cm, a superconducting transition temperature Tc of up
to 5.3 K and a coherence length ξ(4.2 K) of ~105 nm. They
were deposited using pulsed DC magnetron sputtering from a
stoichiometric TiN target onto Si (100) substrates that were
heated to 800 °C. Electron beam lithography and highly
selective reactive ion etching were used to fabricate
nanoSQUIDs with 20-nm-wide nanobridge Josephson junctions of
variable thickness. X-ray and high-resolution electron
microscopy studies were performed. Non-hysteretic I(V)
characteristics of the nanobridges and nanoSQUIDs, as well
as peak-to-peak modulations of up to 17 µV in the V(B)
characteristics of the nanoSQUIDs, were measured at 4.2 K.
The technology offers prospects for superconducting
electronics based on nanobridge Josephson junctions
operating within the framework of the Ginzburg–Landau
theory at 4.2 K.},
