摘要：
We have developed a fabrication process for nanoscale tunnel junctions which includes focused-ion-beam etching from different directions. By applying the process to a Nb/(Al-)Al2O3/Nb trilayer, we have fabricated a Nb single-electron transistor (SET), and characterized the SET at low temperatures, T=0.04-40 K. The superconducting gap energy and the transition temperature of the Nb SET agree with the bulk values, which suggests high quality Nb junctions. The single-electron charging energy of the SET is estimated to be larger than 1 K. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
