Ultra-thin high-temperature superconducting films have attracted continuous interest due to their potential electronic applications, which also provide a unique platform of novel physics and properties in the two-dimensional limit. We, here, realized fabrication of two-unit-cell-thick micro-bridges from mechanically exfoliated ultra-thin Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ (Bi2223) single crystals and systematically investigated their transport properties. The two-dimensional superconducting nature is verified by the existence of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, which is simultaneously revealed by current-voltage properties and the zero-field temperature dependence of resistance. Comparing with Bi2223 bulk crystal, a Bi2223 micro-bridge shows a slight lower upper critical field but pronounced improvement in the critical current density. Our findings indicate that the ultra-thin Bi2223 single crystal is highly prospective for both scientific investigations of unconventional superconductivity and applications of high Tc superconducting devices. © 2022 Author(s).
