Highly {ital c}-axis oriented superconducting YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{ital x}} (YBCO) thin films with a zero-resistance temperature of 85.5 K and a critical current density of 1.9{times}10{sup 3} A/cm{sup 2} at 77 K and zero field, respectively, have been deposited on GaAs substrates by {ital in} {ital situ} laser ablation. A barrier layer using a combination of yttrium-stabilized ZrO{sub 2} (YSZ) and Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} proved to be a most successful buffer on GaAs when YBCO was deposited at relatively high temperature, around 650 {degree}C. The electrical properties of the YBCO films were very dependent on YSZ deposition conditions. The electrical and structural relationship between YBCO films and the YSZ deposition conditions is further investigated by cross-section scanning electron microscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy depth profiling.
