Crystal growth at the interface between grains of Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 1}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 8} and an overlay of 300 nm of Ag has been studied to better understand how new grains grow and why there is such good grain alignment of the c-axis in this part of tape conductors. In 50 torr of oxygen, hillocks grow at temperatures at low as 600 C, and by 800 C have grown to large grains at the interface.
