Abstract

Y-Ba-Cu-O films were made by R-F diode sputtering using a single oxide target. It was found that if a small negative bias is applied to the substrate, the etching associated with reactive sputtering is significantly reduced. This results in better composition control and uniformity, which are quite important for the formation of superconducting thin films. Films deposited on strontium titanate, when annealed in oxygen, become superconducting with zero resistance at 89 K.
