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). We present our attempts to use He/Ne-FIB for fabricating Nb nanoSQUIDs which shall provide ultra-low noise and high spatial resolution for their application in scanning SQUID microscopy (SSM). The nanoSQUIDs are designed as sensors for magnetic flux and dissipation. We address the possibility to implement multi-terminal, multi-cJJ SQUIDs 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 and challenges of this project to combine SSM and AFM on the nanoscale.
