We have fabricated ultrasmall all-Nb tunnel junctions and single electron transistors using shadow evaporation combined with in situ ion gun oxidation. Basic parameters of the Nb/Nb-oxide/Nb junctions, namely, the barrier height, width, and specific junction capacitance, are estimated from the transport characteristics.
