Method for formation of high temperature superconductor films with reduced substrate heating

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6724728
This patent describes a method for forming a film of a ceramic superconductor material of the type requiring a high temperature post-deposition annealing step to form the superconducting phase on a substrate having an upper major surface. It comprises: depositing a layer of reflective material on the upper major surface of the substrate, the reflective material having a higher reflectivity than the superconducting material; depositing the ceramic superconductor material in a thin on the layer of reflective material; and heating the film by application of radiant energy to form a superconducting phase of the ceramic superconductor material.
