  • Abstract
    Recently, sputter-deposited MoSi2 films have been successfully used as a barrier material in Nb/MoSi2/Nb Josephson junctions. In this report, we present our study on the deposition conditions of MoSi2 film for electronics application. We investigated the film stress and sheet resistance as a function of deposition conditions. We also studied the micro-structural change in the film according to the deposition conditions using electron microscopes. We suggest that the thermal strain need to be considered in order to get a reliable junction.
