It is important to find the suitable Nbx Si1-x barrier for the junctions. Josephson junctions with different barrier content are fabricated. Current–voltage characteristics are measured and analyzed. It is demonstrated in this paper that critical current can be adjusted by using different barrier content and thickness. Shapiro steps of five hundred junctions in series are observed.展开更多
