Abstract

We report here on the pulsed laser deposition of high quality, superconducting, 200 nm thick films of YBa2Cu3O7-x at rates approaching 15 nm/s. Film crystallinity and electrical properties were studied as a function of deposition rate from 0.1 to 14.5 nm/s. Though some degradation in the film crystallinity is observed by RBS channeling and X-ray rocking curve measurements, critical current densities (Jc = 4 × 106 A/cm2, 77 K, B = 0) are effectively unchanged in going to the higher deposition rates.
