Abstract
Thin films of YBa2Cu3O7 coated with a photoresist have been patterned by means of XeCl- and KrF-excimer-laser light projection. Lines with w idths down to 3.5 mum have been fabricated without degradation in T(c) and j(c). The technique is compared with wet-chemical etching and wit h ns and fs excimer-laser patterning of films without a protective lay er.
