Description

An easy and inexpensive method to fabricate mesa-type intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) is presented. After fabricating a cross-whisker junction (CWJ) of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ, the CWJ was milled by argon ion beam. No special mask is necessary because the upper whisker plays a role of mask in the milling process. The milled CWJ exhibits typical multi-branch structures in current-voltage characteristics, similar to the one seen in mesa-type and s-shaped small IJJs of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ
