contents Quantum hardware based on circuit quantum electrodynamics makes extensive use of airbridges to suppress unwanted modes of wave propagation in coplanar-waveguide transmission lines. Airbridges also provide an interconnect enabling transmission lines to cross. Traditional airbridge fabrication produces a curved profile by reflowing resist at elevated temperature prior to metallization. The elevated temperature can affect the coupling energy and even yield of pre-fabricated Josephson elements of superconducting qubits, tuneable couplers and resonators. We employ grayscale lithography in place of reflow to reduce the peak airbridge processing temperature from $200$ to $150^\circ\mathrm{C}$, showing a substantial yield increase of transmon qubits with Josephson elements realized using Al-contacted InAs nanowires.
