Abstract
For the realization of the electrical quantum metrology triangle (V-A-Ω) a device to amplify very small currents with high precision is needed. The cryogenic current comparator (CCC) is by far the best instrument to do this. In order to make a very current sensitive CCC for calibration of electrical standards, we have developed optimum dc Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs). The design, fabrication and characterisation of these devices is presented. The measurements concern the flux-to-voltage transfer and the noise properties, especially the input current noise. The optimisation of the flux transformer circuit that links the CCC with the SQUID will be treated. In addition, typical fabrication aspects of the CCC as the wires and tube assembly, the shields and the support system will be addressed.
