Abstract
Superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 thin films have been deposited by high press ure oxygen sputtering technique (HOST). The epitaxial films prepared o n MgO substrates have been analysed using Rutherford Backscattering Sp ectroscopy (RBS) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The films are found to be stoichiometric and homogeneous. Thickness uniformity and s urface roughness of these films have also been analysed. The possible sputter mechanism in this method has been discussed.
