Abstract

A superconductor device has a substrate with an inclined surface that divides the substrate surface into a lower planar substrate surface and an upper planar substrate surface. A lower layer of an anisotropic superconductor material is epitaxially deposited on the lower planar substrate surface so that an a-axis of the anisotropic superconductor material of the lower layer is exposed at a top edge of the lower layer. An upper layer of an anisotropic superconductor material is epitaxially deposited on the upper planar substrate surface so that an a-axis of the anisotropic superconductor material of the upper layer is exposed at a top edge of the upper layer. A layer of a non-superconductor material overlies the inclined surface and the layers of anisotropic superconductor material.
