    Abstract: A method of reducing junction resistance variation for junctions in quantum information processing devices fabricated using two-step deposition processes. In one aspect, a method includes providing a dielectric substrate, forming a first resist layer on the dielectric substrate, forming a second resist layer on the first resist layer, and forming a third resist layer on the second resist layer. The first resist layer includes a first opening extending through a thickness of the first resist layer, the second resist layer includes a second opening aligned over the first opening and extending through a thickness of the second resist layer, and the third resist layer includes a third opening aligned over the second opening and extending through a thickness of the third resist layer.

    Abstract: A method includes: forming an opening in a mask layer; measuring a feature size associated with a dimension of the opening; based on the feature size, determining a fabrication parameter; and forming a second layer in the opening. Forming the second layer is based on the fabrication parameter. A fabrication system includes a lithography system; a measurement system; a physical vapor deposition system; an oxidation system; and a control system. The control system is configured to control a feed-forward fabrication process.

    Abstract: A substrate, a first layer disposed on the substrate, and a second layer disposed on the first layer are provided. An opening is etched through the second layer to the first layer. A first portion of the first layer is etched through the opening using a first etchant, to expose a surface of the substrate through the opening. A feature is deposited on the surface of the substrate through the opening. A second portion of the first layer is etched using a gaseous etchant, to release the substrate from the second layer.
