Superconducting oxide films of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} (YBCO) were produced on magnesia (MgO) single crystalline substrates (100) by laser-assisted metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The highly volatile Ba(hfa){sub 2} {center_dot} tetraglyme was used as a Ba source metal-organic material. Smoother surface YBCO film was obtained with KrF laser irradiation than without. However, KrF laser irradiation does not lower the temperature for formation of YBCO(123) phase. YBCO film prepared at 750{degree}C on the MgO substrate showed a {ital T}{sub {ital c}}({ital R}=0) of 69 K, that prepared with KrF laser irradiation 85 K. When water was added to the reaction chamber, barium fluoride was reduced and the YBCO formation was detected at a temperature of 650{degree}C and higher. YBCO film prepared at the temperature of 700{degree}C for 40 minutes without KrF laser irradiation behaves as a semiconductor, and one prepared with laser irradiation showed a {ital T}{sub {ital c}}({ital R}=0) of 78 K. {copyright} {ital 1996 Materials Research Society.}
