In current superconducting qubit circuit development, coherence time is limited by low-frequency flux noise introduced from localized two-level systems (TLSs) in the fabricated superconducting circuit, including superconducting materials, the interface between thin films, and the substrate. As a part of the effect to tackle this issue from a substrate standpoint, we succeed in fabricating NbN (200) oriented coplanar waveguide resonator (CPWR) on a thin titanium nitride (TiN) (200) buffered Si (100) substrate. The internal loss is close to 3 × 10 -5 near <;n photon > ~1, improved from ~2 × 10 -4 in NbN (200) CPWR fabricated on MgO (100). For NbN (200) resonators grown on Si (100), the internal loss shows microwave energy independent. To further clarity if this energy independence is due to the change of substrate material, we also fabricated TiN (200) CPWR on Si (100). In contrast to NbN (200) CPWR, the loss of TiN (200) resonator shows a strong microwave dependent, an indication of TLSs originated from the interface and the surface. We suggest TLSs in NbN (200) CPWR are dominated from different mechanism other than arising from the interface and surface.
