Abstract

YBa2Cu3O7-y (YBCO) Josephson junctions on silicon (Si) substrates were fabricated by focused electron beam (FEB) irradiation. The junctions exhibit an operation temperature (T) dependence of current (I)-voltage (V) curves in the same manner as an SNS junction. As the temperature decreases, the junctions exhibit weak microwave-induced steps with flux flow-like I-V curves. At 25 K where the resistively shunted junction (RSJ)-like I-V curve appears, the junction exhibited the microwave-induced Shapiro steps up to 4 mV in dV/dI-V curves. This suggests that the junction can respond up to about 2 THz.
