We analyze the influence of thermal noise on the Shapiro steps appearing in the current-voltage characteristics of Josephson junctions. We solve the Fokker-Planck equation describing the system by a path integral method in the steepest-descent approximation, previously applied to the stochastic resonance problem. We obtain the Asymptotic Time-Periodic Distribution Pas(ϕ, t), where ϕ∈[0, 2π] and compute from it the voltage [Formula: see text], constructing the I-V characteristics. We find a defined “softening” of the Shapiro steps as temperature increases, for values of the system parameters in the experimentally accessible range.
