Abstract

A superconductor device which includes a first wiring part and a second wiring part which together form a superconductive wiring. The first wiring part is arranged onto a substrate and is made of a superconductor material. The second wiring part is made of a non-oxide semiconductor material. The second wiring part is adjacent to the first wiring part and jointly forms a superconductive wiring with the first wiring part by becoming at least partly superconductive due to proximity effect with the first wiring part. The second wiring part has a smaller penetration length of magnetic field than that for the first wiring part. This structure enhances the propagation velocity of a signal within the superconductive wiring.
