A coating system for the deposition of in-plane oriented yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) template films on 1 cm wide flexible metal substrates is presented. In static mode, the system is capable of producing high quality template films on 20 cm substrate lengths. In a continuous coating mode, the system is capable of producing good quality template films on 1.1 m substrate lengths. Superconducting YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}} (YBCO) films subsequently deposited onto these template films have demonstrated critical currents (I{sub c}) of 200 A (1.5 cm length), 70 A (12 cm length), and 4 A (1 m length).
