The Nb3Ge thin film with the A15 crystal structure exhibits a superconducting transition temperature of up to 23 K, and the gap frequency is considered to reach 2 THz. In addition, it has many merits in THz band SIS mixer development, such as low resistivity over transition temperature, no crystal anisotropy, and easy reactive etching. In this study, we tried to deposit Nb3Ge thin film using co-sputtering method with high degree of freedom of film composition control. First, the molar deposition rates of Nb and Ge materials by DC sputtering were derived, and the discharge power (Nb: 300 W, Ge: 32 to 48 W) to achieve Nb: Ge = 3: 1 was calculated. The A-plane sapphire substrate was used as the substrate, and the substrate heating temperature was set to 920 ℃. The lattice constant of the obtained Nb3Ge thin film was about 0.513 nm, and the peaks of Nb5Ge3 were observed together with the peaks of Nb3Ge. The film thickness was 180 nm and the superconducting transition temperatures was about 21.0 K. The film resistivity at 25 K was 45 $mu$$Omega$cm, which is lower than that of NbTiN used in conventional SIS mixers. |
