We investigate the DC Josephson current in a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) proximized with a s-wave superconductor, in the presence of spin-orbit interaction and magnetic field. Solving the Bogoliubov-De Gennes equations in the framework of a tight-binding Hamiltonian, we calculate the Andreev bound states, the Josephson current, and the Majorana polarization as a function of phase difference between the two superconductors. We therefore investigate the conditions under which Majorana bound states are localized at the system interfaces.
