Abstract: A study was conducted on the fabrication and characterization of high critical temperature Josephson junctions in thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-delta. The results indicate that resistively shunted junction-like focused electron-beam junctions can be written in large numbers in any geometry. Moreover, these junctions are quasistable and can be described within a conventional framework as superconductor/normal/superconductor junctions.
