Abstract
Abstract A device comprising semiconductor elements and conductor tracks of an oxidic superconductive material, electrically conductive connections being established between the semiconductor elements and the conductor tracks, is provided with an electrically conductive antidiffusion layer between the semiconductor elements and the conductor tracks. The antidiffusion layer consists of an amorphous alloy of two transition metals, which alloy has a crystallization temperature of at least 900 K. The amorphous alloy has the composition A x B 1-x , wherein A is selected from Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb and Ta, wherein B is selected from Ir, Pd and Pt, and wherein x has a value from 0.4 to 0.8.
