Description

We have developed a novel coplanar resonator serving as a tank circuit for radio frequency washer superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs). Two coplanar lines surrounded the circular flux concentrator washer, 13.4 mm in diameter. The SQUID, 3.5 mm in diameter, was coupled to the concentrator in the flip-chip configuration. All parts were fabricated from single-layer epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7 films on LaAlO3 substrates. In this layout, the resonant frequency could be set between 600 and 850 MHz. With SQUID loops of 100x100μm2 (SQUID) inductance Ls=150pH or 10x500μm2 (Ls=260pH), we determined at 77 K white flux noise levels Sφ1/2 of 1.0x10-5 and 1.5x10-5φ0/√(Hz), respectively. Both figures corresponded to the field resolution of about 30 fT/√(Hz). copyright 1997 American Institute of Physics
