The quality of a superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) Josephson junction (JJ) depends crucially on the transparency of the superconductor-normal metal (S/N) interface. Wedemonstrate a technique for fabricating planar JJs with perfect interfaces. The technique utilizes a strong inverse proximity effect (IPE) discovered in Al/V5S8 bilayers, by which Al is driven into the normal state. The highly transparent homointerface enables the flow of Josephson supercurrent across a 2.9 μm long weak link. Moreover, our JJ exhibits a giant critical current and a large product of the critical current and the normal state resistance. The latter exceeds the theoretical bound, which is probably related to the unusual normal metal weak link.
