Three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) form a new material class that may enable robust topological quantum computing when combining them with a superconductor by using so-called Majorana zero modes. Recently, Josephson junctions and SQUIDs using a TI as a weak link are investigated for interface characterization. We present the in-situ fabrication of an interferometer structure formed by an axial DC SQUID that is based on a ternary TI with a Bi0.18Sb1.82Te3 composition. For the in-situ fabrication shadow mask techniques and selective area growth by molecular beam epitaxy are used. Furthermore, magnetotransport measurements are shown, revealing induced superconductivity in both Josephson junctions and an in-plane magnetic field dependent interference pattern corresponding to SQUID oscillations. Lastly, the Shapiro response of the device is investigated.
