Superconducting Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O thin films 0.2--1.0 ..mu..m thick have been prepared on MgO(100) and SrTiO/sub 3/(100) substrates by dc diode sputtering using a single oxide target. Films containing primarily the Tl/sub 2/Ba/sub 2/Ca/sub 1/Cu/sub 2/O/sub 8/ phase were obtained with a T/sub c/ (R = 0) at 102 K and a transport J/sub c/ of 10/sup 4/ A/cm/sup 2/ at 90 K. For the nearly pure phase Tl/sub 2/Ba/sub 2/Ca/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 10/ films, the T/sub c/'s (R = 0) are higher at 116 K and the transport J/sub c/'s at 100 K are of 10/sup 5/ A/cm/sup 2/. Both types of films show a strong preferred orientation with the c axis perpendicular to the film plane. The rocking curve of the Tl/sub 2/Ba/sub 2/Ca/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 10/ films is 0.32/sup 0/ wide and the typical grain size is over 10 ..mu..m.
