Abstract

A report on the preparation and heat treatment of high Tc superconductors thin film is presented. A mixture of the Bi, SrF2, CaF2, and Cu weighed in the atomic proportion was evaporated from resistively heated tungsten boat onto well polished substrates such as MgO, ZrO2 and SrTiO3 held at room temperature using a simple oil pumped vacuum system. Typical residual pressure was about 2.10-5 Torr. Samples thus obtained were then annealed and characterized. Bismuth-based films were found to lose bismuth during heat treatment. Oxidized copper thin film on top of the mixture shown to help prevent bismuth diffusion out of the sample. Lift-off photolithographic method has been applied for Bismuth-based film patterning. Y-Ba-Cu-O films have been obtained using a mixture of YF3, BaF2 and Cu weighed in the atomic proportion. An improved film quality has been obtained when Y replaced YF3 in the constituents. This has been attributed to the fluorine reduction.
