We study two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays in hybrid aluminum/InGaAs/InAs semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures. Using a cold resonator technique, we measure both the inductive response as well as the DC transport properties of the array. A perpendicular magnetic field induces highly ordered vortex configurations for integer and fractional values of the frustration parameter. In the vicinity of the matching fields we observe pronounced dip-to-peak transitions of the differential resistance as a function of current bias, which have previously been interpreted as signatures of a non-equilibrium vortex Mott transition [1]. The scaling behaviour of the differential conductance in our array of ballistic SNS junctions is compared with previous results on diffusive Josephson junction arrays.
