Abstract
We make stacks of intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) embedded in the bulk of very thin (d⩽100nm) Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x single crystals. By precisely controlling the etching depth during the double-sided fabrication process, the stacks can be reproducibly tailor-made to be of any microscopic height (0−9nm<d), i.e., enclosing a specified number of IJJ (0–6), including the important case of a single junction. We discuss reproducible gaplike features in the current-voltage characteristics of the samples at high bias.
