ABSTRACTThin film superconductors of the YBaCuO family have been fabricated using layer structures of Cu/BaO/Y2O3 deposited by electron-beam evaporation. Using layer thicknesses off the stoichiometric YBa2Cu3O7, we have formed superconducting films with zero resistance above 77°K using MgO and SrTiO3 substrates. The films were found to be composed of both the superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 phase, and the non-superconducting green Y2BaCuO7 phase. Dependence of transition temperatures on the annealing temperatures and the substrates has also been studied.

There is great interest in the growth of thin superconducting films of YBa2Cu3Ox on silicon, since this is a necessary first step in the use of this superconductor in a variety of possible electronic applications including interconnects and hybrid semiconductor/superconductor devices. However, initial experiments in this area showed that drastic interdiffusion of Si into the superconductor occurred during annealing if the Y-Ba-Cu-O was deposited direcdy on Si or SiO2, and this interdiffusion destroyed the superconducting properties. This paper describes the results of the use of a zirconia buffer layer as a diffusion barrier in the growth of thin YBa2Cu3Ox films on Si. A more complete description of the growth and characterization of these films will be published elsewhere.Thin film deposition was carried out by sequential electron beam evaporation in vacuum onto clean or oxidized single crystal Si wafers. The first layer evaporated was 0.4 μm of zirconia.

We fabricated a thin film Peltier device based on an InSb film and a SbTe film. N-type InSb thin films were grown on sapphire (0001) substrate with InAsSb buffer layer by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy, and P-type SbTe thin films were deposited on the substrate by electron beam evaporation. N-type and P-type films were separated on the substrate, and between them, a Au thin film was deposited by direct-current sputtering. We observed partial Peltier effect in the device.

CuInSe2(CIS) thin films are successfully prepared by electron beam evaporation. Pure Cu, In, and Se powders were mixed and ground in a grinder and made into a pellet. The pallets were deposited via electron beam evaporation on FTO substrates and were varied by varying the annealing temperatures, at room temperature, 250°C, 300°C, and 350°C. Samples were analysed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) for crystallinity and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) for grain size and thickness. I-V measurements were used to measure the efficiency of the CuInSe2/ZnS solar cells. XRD results show that the crystallinity of the films improved as the temperature was increased. The temperature dependence of crystallinity indicates polycrystalline behaviour in the CuInSe2films with (1 1 1), (2 2 0)/(2 0 4), and (3 1 2)/(1 1 6) planes at 27°, 45°, and 53°, respectively. FESEM images show the homogeneity of the CuInSe2formed. I-V measurements indicated that higher annealing temperatures increase the efficiency of CuInSe2solar cells from approximately 0.99% for the as-deposited films to 1.12% for the annealed films. Hence, we can conclude that the overall cell performance is strongly dependent on the annealing temperature.
