| Research Abstract |
Recent developments of computer technologies can give us comfortable living circumstances. The basic technology of the recent high performance computers is the microelectronics appeared in large scale integrated circuits. However, demands of high speed and high density integration against the electronic devices now become more and more increased. In these circumstances, the conventional electronic devices based on the semiconductors may reach at their final limit of performance. New electronic devices, now are requested to answer the hard demands for the electronic devices. Superconduvices are one of the candidates.
In this research, Si and InSb semiconductors were examined for their activities as a component of the hybrid device of superconductors and semiconductors. Several types of SNS (super/normal/super) junctions were investigated. Although Si was found to flow supercurrents through the SNS junction, the carrier density was too small to operate at low temperatures. On the other hand, InSb was found to be an important candidate of semiconductors for the application of low temperature superconducting devices such as three terminal devices, because the coherence length was as long as 40um with a carrier density of 10^<17> cm^<-3> at 4.2K.
