Recently, the observation of THz radiation from Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi-2212) single crystals stimulated the research on intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJ)[1]. We have fabricated large area mesas including many IJJ stacks on Bi-2212 single crystals by electron beam lithography and Ar ion beam etching techniques. As the observed THz emission is probably due to cavity resonances, the fabrication technique was optimized to obtain clear rectangular shapes. We have fabricated large and tall mesas by selective Ar ion beam etching of a Ti layer on Bi-2212. The samples were characterized by dc I-V measurements. We discuss possible resonant features of the I-V characteristics.
