Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the oxidation of the surface of the niobium film of a lower electrode, and to hold a superconducting contact with the electrode excellently by adding a process in which the niobium nitride (NbN) film is formed on the surface of the lower electrode of a contact section. CONSTITUTION:An SiO2 film 2 (100nm) is manufactured on an Si substrate 1 (4 inches in diameter and 1mm in thickness) through thermal oxidation. An Nb film 3 is formed on the film 2 in film thickness of 100nm through sputtering (target:Nb) as a lower electrode. An NbN film 4 is formed on the film 3 in 2nm through reactive sputtering (target:Nb in N2). Other nitride films (TiN, AlN, etc.) may by used as the film at that time. An insulating-film Al2O3 film 5, 50nm in thickness, is prepared through sputtering (target:Al) while using one part on the film 4 as a mask, and an Nb film 6, 100nm in thickness, is formed on the film 5 through sputtering (target:Nb) as an upper electrode. Accordingly, the surface of the film 3 is difficult to be oxidized, and a superconducting contact with the upper electrode while holding the film 5 can be maintained excellently.
