Abstract

Nb/Al/AlO_x/Al/AlO_x/Al/Nb junctions with critical current densities, j_c, up to 38kA/cm² were fabricated. A critical voltage of V_c=1.25mV and small hysteresis (about 6% of the critical current) at 4.2 K were obtained for j_c=21kA/cm². Also, Nb/Al/AlO_x/Al/Nb/Al/NbN junctions with j_c=33kA/ cm² and V_c=0.76mV were fabricated, where it is suggested that a second tunnel barrier at the Al/NbN interface is present as a result of Al nitridation during NbN deposition.
