Abstract: APPARATUS AND THE METHOD OF INTERCONNECTING SUPERCONDUCTING TUNNELING BARRIERS FORMED ON AN INSULATING SUBSTRATE BY PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES. METAL STRIPS DEPOSITED ON THE INSULATING SUBSTRATE SERVE AS THE TWO SUPERCONDUCTORS OF A SANDWICH CONFIGURATION SEPARATED BY AN INSULATING TUNNELING BARRIER. TO FORM A TYPICAL BARRIER ARRAY, THE FIRST SUPERCONDUCTORS ARE DEPOSITED AND COVERED WITH A PHOTOERSIST. A WINDOW IS OPENED IN THE PHOTORESIST AT EACH OF THE FIRST CONDUCTORS FOR FABRICATION OF THE BARRIERS. A BARRIER IS THEN FORMED ON EACH OF THE FIRST SUPERCONDUCTORS IN THE WINDOW AREA BY AN OXIDATION PROCESS TO FORM WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS A "JOSEPHSON BARRIER." THE SECOND SUPERCONDUCTOR FOR EACH BARRIER OF THE ARRAY IS THEN DEPOSITED ON TOP OF THE PHOTORESIST MATERIAL. APPROPRIATE TALILORING OF THE PHOTORESIST MATERIAL FORMS "WAVEGUIDES" THAT INTERCONNECT THE BARRIERS INTO GROUPS. RADIATION FROM ONE BARRIER OF A GROUP TRAVELS THROUGH THE WAVEGUIDE PHORORESIST TO AFFECT THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT PROFILE OF AN INTERCONNECTED BARRIER.

Abstract: Tunneling barriers, in particular superconductive tunneling barriers (Josephson barriers), are prepared in a vacuum chamber maintained at a low atmospheric pressure using an oxygen glow discharge which produces stable and reproducible superconductive tunneling devices. To prepare a Pb-Pbx Oy-Pb barrier the first lead film is placed in a vacuum chamber and charged to a negative potential with regard to the positive ions by fast electrons from the plasma charge. Oxygen gas molecules bombard the first lead film where they probably disassociate into two oxygen atoms. A surface reaction takes place which produces a lead-oxide insulating layer in the first lead film. After this lead-oxide layer has reached a predetermined thickness, the plasma is extinguished and the oxygen-lead reaction stops. Immediately after the oxide formation, a second lead layer is evaporated onto the oxide layer to form a tunneling barrier of the Josephson type. Instead of forming a lead-oxide insulating layer into the first lead film, polymerized organic molecules may be formed on the lead surface by the high energy bombardment.
