We report successful fabrication of submicron size intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) using c-axis YBCO thin films of 800 nm thickness and Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ d (Bi-2212) single crystal whiskers. The stacks of IJJs were fabricated by 3D focused-ion-beam etching method. First a microbridge was patterned in a required junction area by the normal direction etching. By tilting of the sample stage up to 90, two grooves on the bridge were etched from lateral direction in accordance to the required junction size. The 57-K-YBCO junctions did not show any degradation of critical current density (J c) down to in-plane area of 0.5 μm 2 and show the current-voltage (IV) characteristics of the collective switching transition from the zero voltage state to the resistive state. For Bi-2212 stacks smaller than 1 μm 2, we identified some features of the charging effects on the IV characteristics.
