Oxide superconducting device

摘要

In a method of manufacturing a superconducting device which has a first thin film of oxide superconductor material formed on a substrate and a second thin film formed on the first thin film of oxide superconductor material, after the second thin film is deposited on the first thin film of oxide superconductor material, a multi-layer structure formed of the first and second thin films is patterned so that a side surface of the first thin film is exposed. In this condition, the whole of the substrate is heated in an O2 atmosphere or in an O3 atmosphere so that oxygen is entrapped into the first thin film of oxide superconductor material. Thereafter, the patterned multi-layer structure is preferably covered with a protection coating.
