Abstract

Superconducting YBa2Cu3O7‐ δ (YBCO) films 100‐300nm thick have been grown in‐situ on (100) SrTiO3 at 650°C by ion beam sputtering. Targets of Cu, CuO, Y, Y2O3, BaF2, BaCO3 and YBa2Cu3O7‐ δ have been studied. Uniform composition throughout the film thickness has been achieved by co‐sputtering. Films are metallic (p300=300μΩcm) and textured, with Tc onsets at 92K and Tco=82K. Jc(77K) exceeds 105 Acm‐2. Films grown in‐situ on Si with ZrOx/Y2O3 and In2O3(10 at.%SnO2) buffer layers show Tc onsets at about 90K and Tco at about 50K, annealing improves Tco to 60K with resistivities p30o=2000μΩcm and 4000μΩcm respectively.
