Popis: Bicrystal Josephson junctions and direct current superconducting quantum interference devices (dc SQUIDs) were prepared on YBa(a)2Cu(3)O(7) (YBCO) thin films deposited on yttrium stabilized ZrO2 bicrystal substrates. The critical current densities j(c) similar to 2 x 10(6) A/cm(2) for YBCO thin film and (1-3) x 10(3) A/cm(2) at boundaries were obtained at 77K. For YBCO Josephson junction made on 28 degrees misorientated boundary, the Shapiro steps were observed. The dc SQUID was made on the 32 degrees misorientated boundary junctions, which consisted of 40 x 40 mu m of loop and 2000 x 2000 mu m planar superconductive flux focuser. The voltage modulation depth of this SQUID was 6 mu V, and the magnetic field sensitivity to be similar to 2 pT/root Hz from the measured noise level.
