Abstract :
Early practical SQUID sensors have used point contact junctions. Ultimately all thin-film SQUIDs are desirable to permit integration of superconductive electronic circuitry. We report on hybrid D.C. SQUIDs using Nb/αSi/Nb thin film junctions and a toroidal canister. SQUIDs having white flux noise levels of

are routinely produced.
