    Abstract: A YBCO-based conductive material can be used as an electrode, which can contact a dielectric such as a high k dielectric. Alternatively, a material with a narrow conduction band can be used as an electrode, which can contact a dielectric such as a high k dielectric. By aligning the dielectric with the band gap of the YBCO-based electrode or with the band gap of the narrow-band conductive material electrode, e.g., the conduction band minimum of the dielectric falls into one of the band gaps of the YBCO-based or narrow-band conductive material, thermionic leakage through the dielectric can be reduced, since the excited electrons or holes in the electrode would need higher thermal excitation energy to overcome the band gap before passing through the dielectric layer.

    Abstract: Methods include forming a dielectric layer from a first material above a substrate. The dielectric layer is formed such that a preferred crystal direction for at least one electrical property of the first material is parallel to a surface of the dielectric layer. Next, forming a first and second trench within the dielectric layer wherein the first and second trenches have at least one curved portion. Forming a second material within the first trench and a third material within the second trench wherein the first material is different from the second and third materials. The first and second trenches are separated by a distance between 3-20 nm.

    Abstract: Conducting materials having narrow impurity conduction bands can reduce the number of high energy excitations, and can be prepared by a sequence of plasma treatments. For example, a dielectric layer can be exposed to a first plasma ambient to form vacancy sites, and the vacancy-formed dielectric layer can be subsequently exposed to a second plasma ambient to fill the vacancy sites with substitutional impurities.

    Abstract: Provided are superconducting circuits, methods of operating these superconducting circuits, and methods of determining processing conditions for operating these superconducting circuits. A superconducting circuit includes a superconducting element, a conducting element, and a dielectric element disposed between the superconducting element and the conducting element. The conducting element may be another superconducting element, a resonating element, or a conducting casing. During operation of the superconducting element a direct current (DC) voltage is applied between the superconducting element and the conducting element. This application of the DC voltage reduces average microwave absorption of the dielectric element. In some embodiments, when the DC voltage is first applied, the microwave absorption may initially rise and then fall below the no-voltage absorption level. The DC voltage level may be determined by testing the superconducting circuit at different DC voltage levels and selecting the one with the lowest microwave absorption.

    Abstract: Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is hydrogenated for use as a dielectric (e.g., an interlayer dielectric) for superconducting electronics. A hydrogenated a-Si layer is formed on a substrate by CVD or sputtering. The hydrogen may be integrated during or after the a-Si deposition. After the layer is formed, it is first annealed in an environment of high hydrogen chemical potential and subsequently annealed in an environment of low hydrogen chemical potential. Optionally, the a-Si (or an H-permeable overlayer, if added) may be capped with a hydrogen barrier before removing the substrate from the environment of low hydrogen chemical potential.
