A planar-type junction of HoBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}}{sub {ital x}} {minus} La{sub 1.5}Ba{sub 1.5}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital y}} {minus} HoBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital x}} having an electrode spacing as small as 0.1 {mu}m is fabricated and its electrical characteristics are measured. Supercurrent through the La{sub 1.5}Ba{sub 1.5}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital y}} layer is detected up to the temperature of 69 K. A superconducting region extends from the YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital x}} electrodes into a normal La{sub 1.5}Ba{sub 1.5}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital y}} layer with a submicrometer scale. The superconducting decay length is 65 nm, which is two orders of magnitude larger than the value calculated from the conventional proximity theory.
