摘要
We have created YBCO thin film ramp edge Josephson junctions by modification of the edge surface prior to counterelectrode deposition. No deposited interlayer or barrier layer is employed. These devices are uniform and reproducible, and they display resistively shunted junction current-voltage characteristics with excellent magnetic field modulation. IcRn values over the range 0.5-3 mV and corresponding R(n)A values of 6 x 10(-8)-1.2 x 10(-9) Omega cm(2) at 20 K are easily attained by varying the process. We believe these junctions offer significant promise as the building blocks of a high T-c electronics technology. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
