Abstract

Ytterbium (Yb), was thermally evaporated onto the Y-Ba-Cu-O thin film surface to form an ohmic contact. Specific surface contact resistance in the 10-6 Ω cm2 range was achieved for an as-deposited single layer Yb contact. Specific surface resistance in the 10-9 Ω cm2 range was achieved by using multilayer metal contacts, such as Yb/Cr/Al. These metals used for high-quality ohmic contacts to superconductor thin films are of significance due to their compatibility with semiconductor electronic devices.
