Superconducting nitrides like NbTiN are promising candidates for advancing the performance of transmon qubits as they offer distinct advantages compared to conventional aluminum-based quantum circuits. Notably, NbTiN thin films offer improved chemical stability, show elevated critical temperatures up to 15 K and have a higher kinetic inductance, all of which are important properties for good qubit performance.

Here, we present a comprehensive investigation of superconducting nitride thin films using scanning probe techniques. We find that our polycrystalline 5 nm and 11 nm NbTiN films show a homogeneous superconducting gap throughout the surface. Applying BCS theory we extract critical temperatures of 10 K and 11.5 K, respectively. To improve structural and superconducting properties of our films we explore different post-deposition treatment methods with a focus on thermal annealing in different gas atmospheres.
