This paper reports on high T{sub c} YBaCuO superconducting films prepared in-situ on Si substrates with buffer layers using off-axis single-target RF magnetron sputtering. A special cylinder heater with a reflecting cone was used to grow in-situ YBaCuO films on different buffer layers, such as Y-stabilized ZrO{sub 2}(YSZ), LaAlO{sub 3}, LaGaO{sub 3}, NdAlO{sub 3}, NdGaO{sub 3}, SrTiO{sub 3}, and MgO. The YBaCuO films on YSZ and LaAlO{sub 3} buffer layers have T{sub c}(zero) of 84 K and 83 K respectively. Films deposited at substrate temperatures above 650{degrees} C have preferential orientation with c-axis perpendicular to the film surface. The films also show excellent surface smoothness up to atomic scale with a roughness of 5{Angstrom}.
