    摘要: A method of producing a Josephson junction device consisting of thin films of superconducting materials such as niobium and niobium nitride that work at cryogenic temperatures, in which a base electrode layer, tunnel barrier layer and a counterelectrode layer constituting a Josephson junction are formed on a substrate. In order to form a desired electrode pattern on the counterelectrode layer, a resist pattern is used as a mask for dry etching, followed by a plasma ashing process for ablating part of the resist in order to form a terrace-shaped portion at the edges and corners of the counterelectrode pattern by reforming and shrinking the cross-sectional geometry of the resist. Then, a thin insulating film for covering the edged layers is deposited over the entire surface of substrate, followed by the removal of said resist pattern together with said insulating film deposited on said resist pattern in order to form a protecting layer around the counterelectrode pattern. The substrate further undergoes subsequent stages to produce a Josephson junction device.

    摘要: An oxide-superconducting device comprises first and second electrodes of oxide-superconductor which are connected through a tunnel barrier layer. The oxide-superconductor is formed on a substrate having a recess, and it includes grain boundaries along the recess. The tunnel barrier layer is formed along the grain boundaries, and it is made of any material of an element F, Cl, Br, I, C, O, S, P or N, a mixture consisting of such elements, and a compound containing such an element, the material being introduced into the grain boundaries and/or lattice interstices near the grain boundaries.
