Fabrication of YBa sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub 7 minus x superconducting thin films by organometallic chemical vapor deposition

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry; (USA)

Thin Y-Ba-Cu-O films were fabricated by OMCVD using the tetramethylheptanedione complexes as source materials, and the effects of substrate temperature on crystallographic, electrical, and magnetic properties were examined. Thin films fabricated above 650{degree}C mainly have the orthorhombic YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}x} structure. But, the film fabricated at 650{degree}C reveals the semiconducting property. Thin films fabricated at 700, 750, and 800{degree}C show the superconducting transition. The respective T{sub c} (onset) and T{sub c} (R = 0) for these films were 84 and 60 K, 85 and 78 K, and 84 and 82 K. The Meissner effect was confirmed for the film grown at 800{degree}C.
