A. Ignatiev et al., Coated conductor development by photo-assisted MOICVD growth of YBCO thickfilms and buffer layers, PHYSICA C, 341, 2000, pp. 2309-2313
YBa2CU3O7-x films have been deposited by photo-assisted MOCVD at commercial
ly viable rates on both single crystal oxide substrates and atomically text
ured metallic substrates. CeO2 and YSZ buffer layers have also been develop
ed by photo-assisted MOCVD for deposition on metallic substrates at rates a
pproaching 1 mum/min. The resulting buffer layers show good duplicate of th
e moderate atomic order of the underlying metallic substrates, and the subs
equent YBCO layers show similar moderate atomic order with resulting J(c) s
imilar to 5 x 10(5)A/cm(2).
