Heterostructures In.75Ga.25As / In.75Al.25As or In.75Ga.25As / InAs / In.75Al.25As? we have grown and evaluated both configuration and chose to go ahead with the first one 1.Andreev reflection obvious for us from graphs and Josephson effect but not explicitly stated! 1.Strengthen efforts on InGaAs J-Dot man power has been increased and crucial results already obtained

21 Conclusions We managed to use with semiconductors the same S\N\S theory demonstrated in the case of metals We demonstrated that heating and non equilibrium effects do not play a role in large junctions We found a configuration to improve semi\super junctions performances in terms of current densities and IcRn product. We observed supercurrent modulation as function of magnetic field trough a 2nm radius semiconductor ring.

22 Open issues and possible collaborations justify the discrepancy between Ec calculated from Ic(T) and that calculated from mobility and charge density data estimated from hall measurements on the bare epylayer role of barrier transparency in Ec renormalization? Temperature and Magnetic field phenomenology of type C junction is still not clear. Nature of hysteresis in Ic(H) in super-ring-super devices.
