• Abstract: We characterize highly coherent transmon qubits fabricated with a direct-write photolithography system. Multi-layer evaporation and oxidation allows us to change the critical current density by reducing the effective tunneling area and increasing the barrier thickness. Surface treatments before resist application and again before evaporation result in high coherence devices. With optimized surface treatments we achieve energy relaxation $T_1$ times in excess of $80\ \mu$s for three dimensional transmon qubits with Josephson junction lithographic areas of 2 $\mu\mathrm{m}^2$.

  We investigate die-level and wafer-scale uniformity of Dolan-bridge and bridgeless Manhattan Josephson junctions. Dolan junctions fabricated on planar substrates have the highest yield and lowest room-temperature conductance spread, equivalent to 100 MHz in transmon frequency. In TSV-integrated substrates, Dolan junctions suffer most in both yield and disorder, making Manhattan junctions preferable.

Such high frequency predictability is a requirement for scaling-up the number of qubits in a quantum computer.
