This paper reports on superconducting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O films on (100) MgO substrates reproducibly prepared by the high pressure DC sputtering process without further annealing treatment. The sputtering gas was Ar-50% O{sub 2} and total gas pressure was 1.5 torr. The target was Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 1} {sub 3}Cu{sub 3}O{sub x} composite made by solid-state reaction. The substrate temperatures were 600-750{degrees} C. The film thickness is 0.8-1.5 Mm. The films are consisted of highly c-oriented Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 1}Cu{sub 2}O{sub x} phase. The best superconducting properties of the films are T{sub c} (onset) = 93 K and T{sub c} (R = O) = 68 K. The detailed process and effect of processing parameters on superconductivities, phases and surface morphologies of the films will be discussed.
