a An SNS junction, where spatial modulation of cavity height defines SN interfaces. b Circular region of higher cavity height defines an isolated mesa of superfluid, cooled through normal liquid in a more confined region. Purple plates represent the silicon wafer, darker blue regions normal liquid 3He, and lighter more transparent regions superfluid 3He.
