Direct-coupled micro-magnetometer with Y-Ba-Cu-O nano-slit SQUID fabricated with a focused helium ion beam.
Applied Physics Letters 2018 October 16
Direct write patterning of high-transition temperature (high- T C ) superconducting oxide thin films with a focused helium ion beam is a formidable approach for the scaling of high- T C circuit feature sizes down to the nanoscale. In this letter, we report using this technique to create a sensitive micro superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer with a sensing area of about 100 × 100 μ m2 . The device is fabricated from a single 35-nm thick YBa2 Cu3 O7- δ film. A flux concentrating pick-up loop is directly coupled to a 10 nm × 20 μ m nano-slit SQUID. The SQUID is defined entirely by helium ion irradiation from a gas field ion source. The irradiation converts the superconductor to an insulator, and no material is milled away or etched. In this manner, a very narrow non-superconducting nano-slit is created entirely within the plane of the film. The narrow slit dimension allows for maximization of the coupling to the field concentrator. Electrical measurements reveal a large 0.35 mV modulation with a magnetic field. We measure a white noise level of 2 μ Φ0 /Hz1∕2 . The field noise of the magnetometer is 4 pT/Hz1∕2 at 4.2 K.
