Thin films of the high T/sub c/ superconductor YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7//sub -//sub delta/ were prepared and characterized. The films made on SrTiO/sub 3/ showed epitaxial growth and high critical current densities in excess of 9 x 10/sup 4/ at 78 K and 2 x 10/sup 6/ at 4.2 K. Also, surface pinning in the parallel direction was found to be very high. The measurements put a lower limit on the depairing critical current density of 5 x 10/sup 7/ A/cm/sup 2/.
