Zusammenfassung The microwave properties of microstrip lines used for Josephson voltage standard circuits at frequencies from 70 to 75 GHz were investigated at a temperature of 4.2 K. Our measurements quantify the different loss sources. The excitation of a parasitic substrate mode is postulated, demonstrated by microwave modelling and confirmed by experiments. These modes dominate the losses for wafers with a thickness above 500 μm. The substrate modes can induce an inhomogeneous microwave distribution in the Josephson junction array, thereby causing poor operation of the voltage standard circuits. Silicon dioxide fabricated in various PECVD processes was used as the dielectric layer in the microstrip line circuits. Permittivity and losses of silicon dioxide and the silicon substrate were determined, as well as the surface resistance of niobium.
