Single-target magnetron sputter deposition of high-T/sub c/ superconducting Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O thin films
Single-target RF magnetron sputtering was used to deposit superconducting thin films of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O with a T/sub c//sub 0/ above 80 K. Varying P/sub =/ modified the concentrations of Bi, Cu, and O in the films by 10%--20%. Higher annealing temperatures, especially with brief melting, favored the formation of the higher T/sub c/ phases. Tetragonal phases (6- and 75-K T/sub c/ ), with a = 3.8097 A, c = 24.607 A, and Bi/sub 2/ Sr/sub 2/ CuO/sub 6/ composition, and a = 3.812 A, c = 30.66 A, and Bi/sub 2/ Sr/sub 2-//sub x/ Ca/sub 1+//sub x/ Cu/sub 2/ O/sub 8/ composition, were identified. 70--84 K films contained large proportions of a new tetragonal phase, with a = 3.81 A and c = 55.23 A.
