High throughput, sharp interfaces, and selective deposition with direct ion-, electron-, and photon-beam-controlled techniques are some of the key driving forces for the development of superconducting thin films by the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition technique. In this paper, we report on the {ital in} {ital situ} deposition of a buffer layer of BaF{sub 2} and high-temperature superconducting thin films of Y-Ba-Cu-O by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on silicon substrates. These films have an on-set temperature of 90 K and zero resistance at 73 K. The use of BaF{sub 2} as a buffer layer on Si substrates suggests the possibility of three-dimensional integration with high-temperature superconducting thin films, for hybrid superconductor/semiconductor devices as well as superconducting switches and other related devices. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the deposition of high-temperature superconducting thin films on Si by MOCVD.
