Show affiliationsHere we present a 'circuit edit' concept for superconducting microcircuits that operate at T≤4.2 K making use of superconducting material fabricated using focused ion beam induced deposition (FIBID) with W(CO)6 as the precursor gas. This material has been recently used to fabricate superconducting nanowires with a critical temperature of 5.2 K. Circuit edit consists of using FIB technology with the possibilities for local patterning with nanometer resolution, to modify or repair highly valuable low- TC superconducting devices such SQUIDs, Josephson junction array voltage standards, or transition edge sensors.
