摘要: We investigate a new architecture for the implementation of Josephson junctions combining high critical temperature superconductors (HTS) and semiconductor (Sm) nanowires (NWs). The devices are obtained starting from pre-patterned YBaCuO (YBCO) electrodes assembling suspended InAs-NWs bridges between nearby superconductive banks. Such non-standard approach is necessary in case HTS since growth conditions cuprates incompatible with thermal stability Sm nanostructures. device behavior as function length L InAs bridge. For > 200 nm, all display tendency to insulation at low temperatures. ∼ metallic-like obtained, signaling possible onset transition junction. Technological limitations on width gap separating YBCO banks currently prevent further scaling. Our results suggest that reduction size trench can lead functional YBCO/InAs-NWs/YBCO junctions.
