YBa2Cu3O7 Thin Films Prepared by Evaporation from Yttrium, Copper and BaF2

  • Chapter
Science and Technology of Thin Film Superconductors

Abstract

The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in mixed-valence copper oxides has stimulated great interest in the development of thin films suitable for a variety of electronic applications. These applications range from simple electronic interconnects and transmission lines, through junction devices, such as IR detectors and SQUIDS, to complex Josephson structures for memory and logic applications. Although each application imposes different materials constraints, most have a number of requirements in common. Foremost among these is the ability to make thin, superconducting films with highly controlled properties. Although the relationships between, for example, microstructure and electronic properties are not well understood at present, it is clear that fabrication and processing variables must be specially optimized for this new class of materials.
