Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a uniform high temperature superconductive thin film by heating and vaporizing strontium or barium, rare earth elements and Cu on Cu compound separately in a vacuum, respectively to generate a molecular beam, and depositing them on a substrate heated in an oxygen-containing atmosphere having oxygen. CONSTITUTION:After pots 3 are filled with La, Sr and Cu, the pressure of a growth chamber 1 is reduced to about 10<-8> to 10<-11> Torr, and a zilconia substrate S is then rotated while being heated at about 600 deg. C by a heater 4. Next, La, Sr and Cu are heated and vaporized simultaneously with electron beams in an atmosphere where the oxygen partial pressure is about 10<-3> to 10<-7> Torr so that molecular beams of about 1X10<-7> to 1 to 10<-15> Torr are generated, and thereby a uniform superconductive film of La-Sr-Cu-O ceramic materials is formed. The thickness and critical temperature of the thin film will then be about 1mum and about 40 deg.K, respectively.
