A novel method for fabricating nanometer geometry electronic devices is described. Such Josephson junctions can be accurately and reproducibly manufactured employing photolithographic and direct write electron beam lithography techniques in combination with aqueous etchants. In particular, a method is described for manufacturing planar Josephson junctions from high temperature superconducting material. 10 figs.

Josephson junction Q-spoiler

Patent Clarke, J. ; Hilbert, C. ; Hahn, E.L. ; Sleator, T.

An automatic Q-spoiler comprising at least one Josephson tunnel junction connected in an LC circuit for flow of resonant current therethrough. When in use in a system for detecting the magnetic resonance of a gyromagnetic particle system, a high energy pulse of high frequency energy irradiating the particle system will cause the critical current through the Josephson tunnel junctions to be exceeded, causing the tunnel junctions to act as resistors and thereby damp the ringing of the high-Q detection circuit after the pulse. When the current has damped to below the critical current, the Josephson tunnel junctions revert to theirmore »« less

Thin-film metal coated insulation barrier in a Josephson tunnel junction. [Patent application]

Patent Hawkins, G.A. ; Clarke, J.

A highly stable, durable, and reproducible Josephson tunnel junction consists of a thin-film electrode of a hard superconductor, a thin oxide insulation layer over the electrode constituting a Josephson tunnel junction barrier, a thin-film layer of stabilizing metal over the barrier, and a second thin-film hard superconductive electrode over the stabilizing film. The thin stabilizing metal film is made only thick enough to limit penetration of the electrode material through the insulation layer so as to prevent a superconductive short.

Process for in-situ formation of niobium-insulator-niobium Josephson tunnel junction devices

Patent - in OSTI.gov collection Jones, A.B. ; Erdmann, F.M.

A method of forming a superconductor-barrier-superconductor junction device by the steps of depositing a first superconductive layer on a substrate, forming a barrier layer on the first superconductive layer and depositing a second superconductive layer on the barrier layer. A layer of photoresist is then deposited over the second superconductive layer and patterned together with the second superconductive layer to form a mesa structure. A dielectric layer is deposited over the mesa structure, and the photoresist layer portion is dissolved thereby lifting off the dielectric portion overlying said second superconductive layer portion.
