We fabricated NbTiN Josephson junctions (JJs) with HfOx barriers on thermally oxidized Si substrates. Hf overlayers with different resistivities were used for the HfOx barrier formation. The Hf overlayer with low resistivity produced junctions with high quality parameters. The critical current density (Jc) was obtained in the range of 0.01–0.4 kA/cm2 by changing the thermal oxidation conditions of the Hf layer. The critical current uniformity was estimated at a maximum-to-minimum spread of ±10.1% for 85 of the 100 JJs. We evaluated the specific capacitance, which was approximately 110 fF/μm2 for the Jc ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 kA/cm2. The quasiparticle tunnel characteristics were improved by using the NbN electrodes instead of the NbTiN electrodes.
