Josephson parametric amplifiers are crucial components for superconducting quantum circuits as they enable high fidelity readout of qubits by improving the signal-to-noise ratio. Among them, Dimer Josephson Junction Array Amplifiers (DJJAA) [1] have shown promise as user-friendly devices with gain on the order of 20 dB, low added noise, saturation powers larger than approximately -110 dBm, and non-degenerate amplification over a bandwidth of up to ~10 MHz. Due to the use of dc-SQUIDS and multiple dimer modes the operating frequency can be tuned in the range of 2-10 GHz. Using results obtained on DJJAAs with Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junctions as a baseline, we present our progress towards realizing DJJAAs with Nb/AlOx/Nb-trilayer Josephson junctions. We will discuss the circuit design, our fabrication processes, and show preliminary cryogenic measurements of the device.
