Abstract

PURPOSE:To be able to accelerate a Josephson junction device by burying the Josephson junction device of 3-layer structure in the hole of a first insulating film, providing a second insulating film at the center of the hole, and forming an oxide film only at the edge of the 3-layer structure. CONSTITUTION:An Si substrate 1 is thermally oxidized to form an SiO2 film 2, a lower electrode 3 of a superconductor film is formed, and patterned. Then, it is covered with an insulating film 4 made of an SiO2 film, a hole 5 is formed, and a superconductor film 6, a tunnel barrier layer film 7 and a superconductor layer 8 are sequentially formed. Thereafter, the whole surface is coated with a resist film 9, dry etched to equalize the etching rates of the films 9, 6, 8, and stopped at etching when the etched parts of the films 6, 7, 8 are exposed. Then, an oxide film 10 is formed on the edge of the 3-layer structure. Thereafter, the film 9 is removed, and a wiring film is patterned. Thus, the junction area can be extremely reduced to accelerate the device.

A Josephson junction element having a layered structure (second superconductor film-tunnel barrier film-third superconductor film) is buried, and a second insulating film as a spacer is provided at the center of the opening. As a result, the oxide film can be formed only on the edge portion of the three-layer structure, so that the third superconductor film and the wiring superconductor film can be brought into contact without providing an opening for contact. Can be done. In this way, since there is no need to take into account a one-dimensional misalignment when forming a contact, a Josephson junction element with an extremely small junction area can be manufactured.
