For ground-based electromagnetic methods in geophysics dc superconducting quantum interference devices based on high-temperature superconductors are well suited as magnetic field sensors. Therefore, we introduce in this paper an advanced fabrication technology for high-temperature superconducting dc SQUIDs based on step-edge Josephson junctions. The dc SQUIDs are prepared on structured magnesium-oxide substrates. A tri-layer of YBa2CU3O7-x/SrTiO3/YBa2CU3O7-x is deposited by pulsed laser deposition and structured with ion beam etching. The galvanometer-type design consists of four different dc SQUIDs directly coupled to a pickup loop. They exhibit large IcRn products and a voltage swing of more than 30 mu V. The magnetic field noise amounts to about 20 fT/Hz(1/2) and 35 fT/Hz(1/2) for the white noise region as well as 25 fT/Hz(1/2) and 100 fT/Hz(1/2) at 100 Hz for ac-bias and dc-bias SQUID electronics, respectively. The advanced fabrication process thus enables to produce HTS dc SQUIDs intended for the use in geophysical applications with high throughput.
