We present a new and versatile concept for devices based on topological materials. To maintain their topological character high quality samples with clean interfaces to adjacent functional device components are mandatory. This requirement forms a bottleneck of current research, because very often the established thin film deposition fails to produce such high quality samples and bare surfaces of single crystals lack the necessary flatness. We demonstrate a novel, all-in-ultrahigh-vacuum process that enables to realize, e.g. tunnel junctions, Andreev contacts or SQUID rings from single crystalline bulk material. The validity of the technique is verified and illustrated with tunnel junctions made from cleaved single crystals of the half-Heusler topological superconductor candidate YPtBi.
