Fabrication and characterization of low-loss Al/Si/Al parallel plate capacitors for superconducting quantum information applications
Anthony McFadden, Aranya Goswami, Tongyu Zhao +7
Increasing the density of superconducting circuits requires compact components, however, superconductor-based capacitors typically perform worse as dimensions are reduced due to lo…
