CONSTITUTION:A step is formed on an SrTiO3 single crystalline substrate 2 in a plane (100), and a surface in a plane (110) is presented on the stepped part. An oxide superconductor YBaCuO film 1 having an oxygen defective triple perovskite structure is epitaxially grown on the substrate, the film 1 is etched and patterned in the face of the substrate 2, thereby presenting a Josephson junction element. The matching of a lattice occurs on the stepped part on the substrate 2 and the coherence length of YBaCuO is short 4.4-37Angstrom . Accordingly, its superconductivity is weakened at the mismatched part to form a weak coupling.
