We report the effects of Zn substitution for Cu on the superconducting properties of the electron superconductor Nd{sub 1.85}Ce{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4{minus}{delta}}. Detailed comparisons are made to earlier work on Zn substitution effects on the single-CuO{sub 2}-layer hole superconductor La{sub 1.85}Sr{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4{minus}{delta}}. Theoretical implications are discussed briefly.
