A SQUID comprises a substrate, a washer of an oxide superconductor thin film formed on a principal surface of the substrate, a hole shaped a similar figure to the washer at the center of the washer, a slit formed between one side of the washer and the hole, and a Josephson junction which connects portions of the washer at the both sides of the slit across the slit. In the SQUID, the ratio of similarity of the washer to the hole ranges 100 to 2500.

A Josephson junction device comprises a substrate and an oxide superconductor thin film formed on a principal surface of the substrate. The oxide superconductor thin film includes two portions constituted of single crystals of the oxide superconductor, one of which is composed of a -axis orientated single crystal of the oxide superconductor and the other of which is composed of c -axis orientated single crystal of the oxide superconductor, and a grain boundary between said two portions, which constitutes a weak link of the Josephson junction.

The invention relates to a silicon nitride based sintered body composed only of uniform, fine crystal grains, which possesses improved strength and fracture toughness in the middle and low temperature ranges. A crystalline silicon nitride powder composed of crystal grains whose longer-axis diameter is not more than 200 nm or an amorphous silicon nitride powder is used as the material powder. The silicon nitride powder is sintered at a temperature of 1200°C to 1400°C or sintered with a product of sintering temperature (°C) and sintering time (sec) below 600000 (°C·sec) at a temperature of 1400°C to 1900°C. Thus, a silicon nitride based sintered body in which the longer-axis diameter of silicon nitride and/or sialon crystals is not more than 200 nm is obtained.

For manufacturing a superconducting device having a tunnel junction formed of an extremely thin insulator layer sandwiched between a pair of oxide superconductor thin films, a first superconducting layer of oxide superconductor thin film is formed on a substrate, and a MgO thin film is deposited on the first superconducting layer at a substrate temperature of not higher than 200°C. The MgO thin film is heat-treated so that crystallinity of the deposited MgO thin film is improved, and thereafter, a second superconducting layer of oxide superconductor thin film is formed on the MgO thin film.
