Performance of Digital SQUID with Sub-Flux Quantum Feedback Resolution Fabricated using 10 kA/cm2 Nb Process

Abstract Digital superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID with Single Flux Quantum (SFQ) feedback operates as a Δ-type oversampling A/D converter. Magnetic flux resolution at Nyquist frequency can be improved by taking sub SFQ feedback resolution and large oversampling ratio. Using high critical current density Nb process for fabricating SFQ circuits, we expected more higher operation speed for the digital SQUID and resulting to higher magnetic flux resolutions. We expected a performance of the digital SQUID magnetometer fabricated using 10 kA/cm2 Nb process based on CAD layout, with an up/down counter using T2FF cells and parallel SFQ feedback. For the clock frequency of 13 GHz and the Nyquist frequency of 1.587 MHz, the magnetic field noise was lower than 1.5 fT / Hz and the slew rate was exceeded 500 mT/s.

Characterization of a digital squid for magnetic field measurements with high dynamic range

Imke Haverkamp, Olaf Wetzstein, J. Kunert +3 more

Measurements of extremely weak magnetic fields in unshielded environments require sensors providing a high dynamic range and slew rate while maintaining a high resolution. At present, analog Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) are the most sensitive sensors for magnetic flux. Due to their room-temperature feedback electronics necessary to maintain a stable point of operation, slew rates of those sensors are limited. The dynamic range is usually restricted by the resolution of classical analog to digital converters. The digital SQUID follows a different approach: a change of the magnetic field penetrating the pickup loop is translated by the sensor into a stream of voltage pulses. Each pulse represents the change of the magnetic flux inside the pickup loop by one flux quantum Φ0. By fast counting of these flux quanta, it is possible to outperform the analog SQUID in terms of dynamic range and maximum slew rate. We present our latest results with respect to the internal mechanisms of the digital SQUID and present a method to compensate the main source for nonlinear behavior of the sensor. The analyzed circuit was fabricated by FLUXONICS Foundry (1) in a 1 kA/cm² niobium fabrication process.
