Notes:
An investigation of superconductor/semiconductor/superconductor Josephson junctions with separations between the Nb superconducting electrodes down to 20 nm is presented. To achieve such short distances, a preparation technique employing an anodic Nb oxide film as a spacer has been developed. The Nb electrodes are coupled through the quasi two-dimensional electron gas in the native inversion layer at the surface of p-type InAs. High characteristic voltages up to 1.35 mV at T=2 K are observed. A sensitive dependence of the magnitude of the characteristic voltage on interface quality is demonstrated. Good agreement is found between the experimental temperature dependence of the critical current and a theoretical model valid for short weak links. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
