摘要
Recent experimental results for Nb/p-type InAs/Nb Josephson junctions are reviewed. In these devices, the superconducting Nb electrodes are coupled through the native inversion layer at the surface of p-type InAs. Besides the de and ac Josephson effects, we discuss the opening of a proximity-effect induced energy gap in the density of states of the inversion layer where it is covered by Nb. In field-effect controlled devices, the short electrode separation comparable to the mean free path allows the observation of Fabry-Perot type resonances in the current-voltage characteristics.
