Abstract :
A reliable procedure based on the niobium technology has been developed to fabricate low intrinsic noise Josephson devices. Results concerning both the design and the characterization of fully integrated DC-SQUID magnetometers are reported. Such devices well meet the requirements of multichannel systems for biomagnetic measurements
