Superconducting Tl{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub {ital x}} films were fabricated using a three-step process. Amorphous BaCaCuOF films were deposited on MgO(100) single-crystal substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition at 500 {degree}C using fluorinated {beta}-diketonate complexes of Ba, Ca, and Cu. The fluorine was stripped in wet oxygen at 785 {degree}C and {ital c}-axis oriented Tl{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub {ital x}} films were then formed by annealing in dry at 870 {degree}C in the presence of Tl{sub 2}O{sub 3}/Ba{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}CuN{sub 3}O{sub {ital x}} pellets. The best films showed onsets of superconductivity at 125 K and zero resistivity was achieved by 108 K. Critical current densities as high as 10{sup 4} A/cm{sup 2} were obtained at 90 K.
