We have designed and characterized a micro-SQUID with dispersive readout for use in low temperature scanning probe microscopy systems. The design features a capacitively shunted RF SQUID with a tunable resonance frequency from 5 to 12 GHz, micrometer spatial resolution, and integrated superconducting coils for local application of magnetic fields. The SQUID is operated as a nonlinear oscillator with a flux-and power-dependent resonance frequency. Measurements for device characterization and noise benchmarking were carried out at 4K. The measured flux noise above 10 kHz at 4K is 80 n Phi(0) Hz(-1/2) at a bandwidth of 200MHz. Estimations suggest that one can benefit from parametric gain based on inherent nonlinearity of the Josephson junction and reduce the flux noise to 30 n Phi(0)Hz(-1/2) at 100 mK, which corresponds to 10.6 mu(B)Hz(-1/2) for a magnetic moment located at the center of the pickup loop.
