This work deals with realizations and measurements of superconducting quantum devices. For patterming these devices, we use a technique of near field lithography : the local oxydation of a thin metallic layer with an atomic force microscope (AFM). We apply this technique to Nb and NbN ultra-thin films (2-10 nm) epitaxaly grown on sapphire substrates. The ultimate resolution that we obtain is of 10nm. It enables us to carry out crystalline nanowires whose section is nanometric (100nm2) and homogeneous at long distances( 40µm). In preliminary studies, we characterize the crystalline quality of films and we measure their electrical properties at the lowest temperatures. These studies are performed for several film?s thicknesses and allow the a...
