Abstract

The Y‐Ba‐Cu‐0 (YBCO) films were grown on (100)Mg0 substrate by the high pressure DC diode sputtering process. The targets were YBCO compounds made by solid‐state reaction. The sputtering gas was Ar‐50%02, and total pressure was 1.5 torr. As‐deposited superconducting YBCO films can be prepared at low substrate temperature at high discharge current. For Y1Ba2Cu30x target, the atomic ratio Ba/Y in the films almost remains constant (Ba/Y = 1.7) and Cu content monotonically increases with increasing discharge current. The Cu content in the film approaches to that of the target at low discharge current. Concentrations of 0 and 02 + in plasma markedly increase during increase of discharge current. High Cu content at large discharge current may be caused by action of electrical field on Ba+ and Y+.
