High-temperature superconductor films of YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus]x] were fabricated by electrochemical synthesis of precursors from a solution of nitrate salts of the metallic constituents in isopropanol. The precursor films were composed of hydroxides which when heat-treated in oxygen formed a YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus]x] superconductor. The superconducting transition temperatures were 79 K for a film from a single simultaneous deposition of the metallic components and 88 K for a film from several successive depositions.
