にしなければならない。When fabricating a superconducting element or a superconducting integrated circuit using the above-mentioned laminated film, the size and shape of each thin film must be changed depending on the function and characteristics of each thin film. For example, a metal film, such as a bonding pad, serving as an electrode for supplying a current from the outside to the oxide superconducting thin film, is formed at a predetermined position on a part of the oxide superconducting thin film. In a superconducting integrated circuit or the like, a metal film serving as a resistor in contact with the oxide superconducting thin film must also be formed at a predetermined position on a part of the oxide superconducting thin film. Such a metal film may have a thickness of 100 nm or less, but must be formed without causing unnecessary electric resistance between the metal film and the oxide superconducting thin film. Further, in the case of manufacturing an element, an integrated circuit, or the like using an oxide superconducting thin film for a current path, the oxide superconducting thin film must have a predetermined current path shape. Oxide superconductors are easily changed in composition and crystal structure, thereby significantly lowering the superconducting properties.Therefore, when producing the above-mentioned laminated film using an oxide superconducting thin film, the oxide superconducting thin film It must not be adversely affected.

Furthermore, even when the thin films constituting the laminated film are formed in different shapes, care must be taken so as not to deteriorate the oxide superconducting thin film. In particular, when the thin film immediately above the oxide superconducting thin film is formed on a part of the oxide superconducting thin film, there is a high risk of deteriorating the oxide superconducting thin film. That is, the lift-off method is affected by a photoresist, an etchant, and the like, and the reactive ion etching is a method of processing a thin film formed on an oxide superconducting thin film with an electron beam, an ion beam, or the like using Cl ions or the like.

A heat treatment for incorporating oxygen into the O 7 -X oxide superconductor may be performed. After this heat treatment, the temperature of the Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-X oxide superconducting thin film 1 was set to 375 ° C., and the inside of the chamber was set to 1 × 10 −9.
Exhaust to Torr. Next, a 200 nm thick Au thin film 2 was formed on the Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-X oxide superconducting thin film 1 as shown in FIG.
Is formed by a vapor deposition method. Next, as shown in FIG. 1D, a photoresist 5 is formed on the Au thin film 2 in accordance with a pattern to be processed.
Are laminated, and as shown in FIG. 1 (e), the Au thin film 2 and Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O
The 7-X thin film 1 is processed by a reactive ion etching method.
All the steps so far were continuously performed in the same chamber. It has been found that the laminated film produced by the method of the present invention has not only excellent crystallinity of each thin film after processing but also good consistency at the interface. No interdiffusion occurred at the interface.
