〔発明が解決しようとする問題点〕[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

このようなコンタクト部を持った超伝導デバイスにおい

やコンタクト部の寸法が小さくなってきている。
In superconducting devices having such contact portions, not only the dimensions of the device but also the wiring width and the dimensions of the contact portion are becoming smaller in order to achieve higher integration.

いてコンタクト部の臨界電流(超伝導状態から常伝導状

For example, if the line width is 4xn, the size of the contact hole must be 2 mm or less to allow for alignment margin for the pattern. In a contact hole having such dimensions, the critical current (current that transitions from a superconducting state to a normal conducting state) in the contact portion was a small value of about 20 mA.

本発明は従来のこのような欠点を解決して、コンタクト
部の臨界電流値を大きくすることを目的とする。
It is an object of the present invention to solve these conventional drawbacks and increase the critical current value of the contact portion.

〔問題を解決するための手段〕[Means to solve the problem]

における下側電極の厚さが上側電極の厚さのl/10〜
1/2程度と薄いため、コンタクト部近傍の下側電極に

界電流が小さくなることに想到した。
As a result of studying the cause of the small critical current value in such a minute contact part, the inventor found that the thickness of the lower electrode in the contact part is 1/10 to 1/10 of the thickness of the upper electrode.
Since it is as thin as about 1/2, the current density in the lower electrode near the contact portion is high and the transition to a normal conduction state is easy, resulting in a small critical current.

そこで、本発明では下側電極をコンタクト部において局

Therefore, in the present invention, the lower electrode is locally thickened at the contact portion.

〔作 用〕[For production]

下側電極を厚くすることにより、窓部で電流が集中して

伝導状態への転移を抑えることができる。
By making the lower electrode thicker, even if current is concentrated at the window, the current density at the lower electrode near the window is relaxed, and transition to a normal conduction state can be suppressed.
