Popis: Superconducting films of YBa2Cu3O7-x with thickness ranging from 5 to 15 mu m have been grown on MgO(100) substrate by the spray pyrolysis technique followed by suitable annealing in flowing oxygen. A systematic study of the temperature dependence of Ic of the microbridges patterned on these films indicates that the grain boundary weak links behave as S/N/S junctions in microbridges having high Jc, while they behave as S/I/N/S or S/I/S junctions as the Jc of the microbridge is gradually decreased. Shapiro steps in I-V curves as well as SQUID behaviour in V- Omega curves are clearly observed in microbridges having low Jc but not in microbridges having high Jc.
