초록

Superconducting flux flow transistor(SFFT) is based on a control of the Abrikosov vortex flowing along a channel. The induced voltage by moving of the Abrikosov vortex in SFFT is greatly affected by the thickness and width, of channel. In order to fabricate a reproducibility channel in SFFT, we have researched the variation of the critical characteristics of YBCO thin films with the etching time using ICP(Inductively coupled plasma) system. It was certified that the velocity of vortex decreased with increasing the width of channel and was saturated faster in low bias from a simulation. An etching mechanism of YBCO thin films by ICP system was also certified by AFM(Atomic Force Microscope) and by measuring the critical current density with etching time. As measurement result, we could analyze that we should optimize the etching thickness of channel part to construct a flux flow transistor with desired characteristics.
