Problems solved by technology

However, the oblique coating method still has certain disadvantages, such as: the film thickness and resistance uniformity of the Josephson junction in the large wafer size range cannot be guaranteed, which is not conducive to high integration
At the same time, limited by the existence of the polymer material mask layer, the preparation of the Josephson junction region needs to be controlled at a low temperature range from room temperature to 200 °C, which cannot reach the optimal growth temperature of the superconducting film layer.
[0004] From the material point of view, Al has a low superconducting temperature and superconducting energy gap, whic
