This article describes the construction of a tunnel junction. The tunnel junction consists of two YBCO superconducting thin films configured as crossing strips separated by a resistive layer. A YBCO thin film is deposited onto a magnesium oxide substrate by RF magnetron sputtering to create the base electrode. A resistive barrier is then created by subjecting the surface of the base electrode to plasma fluorination. Finally, the YBCO counter electrode, is deposited again by RF magnetron sputtering. Details of the procedure appear at the end of this article.
