  • Process for manufacturing a Josephson junction and associated Josephson junction
    Patent number: 10510942
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a Josephson junction comprising a step for providing a substrate, extending along a longitudinal direction, a step for depositing a superconducting layer on the substrate so that this layer extends from the substrate in a transverse direction, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a step for irradiation of ions in a central area of the layer defined in the longitudinal direction, the method being characterized in that it includes, prior to the irradiation step, a step for removing a portion of the central area of the superconducting layer so as to delimit a set of areas of the superconducting layer aligned in the longitudinal direction including the central area and two lateral areas.
