Results on low temperature process in preparation of superconducting thin films YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ are presented. The YBCO thin films of thickness 0.5-1.0 ..mu..m were prepared by vacuum codeposition of Y, BaO, and Cu not only onto both polycrystalline and single crystal Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, MgO, and SrTiO/sub 3/ but even on Si+SrTiO/sub 3/ and Si+SiO/sub 2/ substrates. The temperature of substrate was 550 - 580/sup 0/C and partial oxygen pressure in vacuum chamber 10/sup -2/ Pa. The total film growth rate was 1 nm/s with controlled individual rates to yield the desired 1:2:3 composition. The preparation of in situ superconducting thin films was successful with all used substrates. Maximum critical temperature at zero resistance was T/sub ce/ = 85 K, the onset critical temperature T/sub con/ being from 90 to 95 K.
