(color online) (a)–(d) Procedure for superconducting airbridge fabrication. Colored in yellow, red, and white in the illustrations are aluminum, resist, and Nb, respectively. The preparing for CPW transmission line is omitted. (a) Pattern and reflow to make the upholder. (b) Deposition of aluminum. (c) Introducing bridge-like resist to define the bridge length and width. (d) Finished air-bridges over a CPW transmission line after wet etching and oxygen plasma.
