Nanopatterning of superconducting thin film structures with focused He or Ne ion beams (He/Ne-FIB) offers a flexible tool for creating constriction-type Josephson junctions (cJJs) which can be integrated into strongly miniaturized superconducting quantum interference devices (nanoSQUIDs) for magnetic sensing on the nanoscale. We present our attempts to use He/Ne-FIB for fabricating Nb cJJs and nanoSQUIDs which shall provide ultra-low noise and high spatial resolution for their application in scanning SQUID microscopy (SSM). Moreover, we address the possibility to implement multiterminal, multi-JJ SQUIDs that provide flexibility in SQUID readout. The nanoSQUIDs are designed as sensors for magnetic flux and dissipation. They shall be integrated on custom-made Si cantilevers, which will provide the possibility of simultaneous conventional topographic imaging by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We will discuss the status of this project and challenges that have to be met on the way to combine SSM and AFM on the nanoscale.
