A superconductor structure of very high performance is realized by forming a crystalline coating on a substrate of semiconductor, etc. and epitaxially depositing a crystalline superconductor film of good quality on this crystalline coating. Especially, CaF.sub.2 crystal and ZrO.sub.2 crystal of CaF.sub.2 crystal structure have latice constants which match well with the substrate such as Si, GaAs, etc. and the superconductor. The crystalline coating may be a perovskite material such as BaTiO.sub.3 when the superconductor is a perovskite material.

An optical switch usable for an optical circuit adapted to be operated by utilizing the electro-optical effect inherent therein. A pair of electrodes are arranged in spaced relation on an optical wave guide which is branched to branch optical wave guides and transmission of light beams is controlled by applying a certain voltage to the electrodes. Both the optical wave guide and the branch optical wave guides are made of electro-optical material. Specifically, the optical wave guides are constituted by a layer of PLZT ((Pb, La) (Zr, Ti) O.sub.3) based thin film which is formed by epitaxial growth on a base plate located on the C-plane of sapphire (.alpha.-alumina). The switch is effective for controlling the transmission of light beams.

A underlying layer of multi-component material of a first formula is deposited on a substrate by controlling the amounts of sputtering materials evaporated respectively from a plurality of sputtering sources. A transition layer of multi-component material is subsequently formed on the underlying layer by controlling the amounts of the sputtering materials so that the transition layer is given a second, variable formula varying in a range from the first formula at the boundary between the underlying layer and the transition layer to a third formula. An overlying layer of multi-component material of the third formula is subsequently formed on the transition layer by controlling the amounts of the sputtering materials. Specifically, the first formula is [Pb.sub.1-(x/100) La.sub.x/100 ][Zr.sub.y/100 Ti.sub.z/100 ].sub.w O.sub.3, in which 10.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.40, y.ltoreq.5, w=1-(x/400) and y+z=100, and the third formula is [Pb.sub.1-(X/100) La.sub.X/100 ] [Zr.sub.Y/100 Ti.sub.Z/100 ].sub.W O.sub.3, in which X.ltoreq.20, 40.ltoreq.Y.ltoreq.90, W=1-(X/400) and Y+Z=100.
摘要:
This invention provides a superconducting tunnel junction element showing satisfactory Josephson effect. The element includes a Bi-based layered compound such as Bi.sub.2 Sr.sub.2 (Ca.sub.0.6 Y.sub.0.4)Cu.sub.2 O.sub.8, Bi.sub.2 Sr.sub.2 Cu.sub.2 O.sub.6 and Bi.sub.2 Sr.sub.2 CaCu.sub.2 O.sub.8 as the barrier layer between the superconducting oxide electrodes. The structural matching of the superconducting oxide with the Bi-based compound is supposed to be good. Some kinds of Cu-based superconducting oxides such as YSr.sub.2 Cu.sub.2.7 Re.sub.0.3 O.sub.7, Sr.sub.2 CaCu.sub.2 O.sub.6 and (La.sub.0.9 Sr.sub.0.1).sub.2 CuO.sub.4 are used for the electrodes to obtain a Josephson element which can work at a high temperature. When using the superconducting oxides including Ba such as YBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7 for the electrode, forming a thin film between the electrode and the barrier is better to prevent Ba from reacting with Bi in the barrier layer. The superconducting device comprising the element has various uses such as magnetic detecting use, communicating use and computing use.
摘要:
A surface acoustic module is stable, and its operation frequencies can be varied with high precision. A method of manufacturing the surface acoustic module prevents the module's electrodes from being broken during separation of a sheet of modules into individual components. The surface acoustic module includes electrodes for transmitting and receiving a surface acoustic wave, a surface acoustic wave transmitting substrate, a high resistance thin film, and a thin film for differentiating the transmission velocity of a surface acoustic wave at the high resistance thin film from that at the substrate. The method includes the steps of forming a metallic film on a sheet of the surface acoustic wave transmitting substrate, of forming the electrodes on the metallic film, and of irradiating light or the like to the metallic film so as to increase the film's resistivity.

A convex region (a processed, linearly shaped platinum thin film) of oriented metal is provided on a substrate as a gate electrode. Then, an oxide insulating film (SrTiO.sub.3 thin film) is deposited on the convex region, and further a YBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7 oxide superconducting thin film is deposited on the oxide insulating film. Accordingly, a grain boundary part is formed on the convex region. A drain electrode and a source electrode are formed facing each other with the grain boundary part between.
