Summary :

We produced a double-layer thin-film heater to detrap magnetic flux in a SQUID sensor. The heater is integrated on a sensor chip, and consists of a lower resistor layer and an upper superconducting layer to cancel the magnetic field produced by the heater current. The SQUID sensor is cooled below its critical temperature with a temperature gradient to detrap the flux completely. To make the gradient, we had to decrease heater power to zero over an interval exceeding 10-4 second in our experiment, which is almost equal to the sensor chip's thermal time constant. The integrated heater effectively controls the temperature profile and detraps flux in the sensor.
