TUNNEL JUNCTION TYPE JOSEPHSON DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME

摘要

A tunnel junction type Josephson device includes a pair of superconductor layers formed of a compound oxide superconductor material and an insulator layer formed between the pair of superconductor layers. The insulator layer is formed of a compound oxide which is composed of the same constituent elements as those of the compound oxide superconductor material of the superconductor layers but with an atomic ratio which does not present a superconductivity characteristics. In addition, the superconductor layers and the insulator layer are continuously formed while supplying oxygen.
