Josephson junctions were fabricated in three planar configurations using a focused ion beam (FIB) to cut greater than or equal to70 mn gaps in MgB2 bridges. In two of the approaches-narrowed microbridges where a 0.1 mum bridge was left in place after the FIB cut or thinned microbridges where a 20-40 nm-thick film layer remained uncut-we reproduced junction results obtained by other researchers but with I-c(T) > 0 at substantially higher temperatures, >32 K. Measurements were made of critical current modulation in an applied magnetic field and I-V curves were measured with the chips exposed to 1-10 GHz radiation. In the third configuration, S-N-S structures were made by filling the gap made by the FIB with, a noble metal. This configuration is preferred to S-S'-S since the, normal-couductor coherence length of 40-100 nm for a clean metal roughly matches the width of the FIB cut. Junction R-n measurements showed that ex-situ An deposited after a low-energy argon ion cleaning was not as effective as in-situ Pt deposition for obtaining low-resistance S-N interfaces.
