A comprehensive study was carried out on the Josephson effect in YBCO/Au-Ag/Pb SNS junctions prepared on YBCO thin films with various crystal orientations. Most of the fabricated junctions showed a dc Josephson current with a clear Fraunhofer pattern dependence on the applied magnetic field, which ensured the uniformity of the fabricated junction structure. Experimental results were quantitatively compared with the conventional junction theory based on the Usadel equation. The junction characteristics were confirmed to be reasonably explained by a junction model in which a thin insulating or highly resistive layer was assumed to exist at the YBCO-Au interface.
