ABSTRACTThe innovative Combustion Chemical Vapor Deposition (CCVD) process is a non-vacuum technique that is being investigated to enable next generation products in several application areas including high-temperature superconductors (HTS). In combination with the Rolling Assisted Biaxially Textured Substrate (RABiTS) technology, the CCVD process has significant promise to provide low-cost, high-quality lengths of YBCO coated conductor. The CCVD technology has been used to deposit both buffer layer coatings as well as YBCO superconducting layers. A buffer layer architecture of strontium titanate and ceria have been deposited by CCVD on textured nickel substrates and optimized to appropriate thicknesses and microstructures to provide templates for growing PLD YBCO with high critical current density values. The CCVD buffer layers have been scaled to meter plus lengths with good epitaxial uniformity along the length. A short sample cut from one of the lengths enabled high critical current density PLD YBCO. Films of CCVD YBCO superconductors have been grown on single crystal substrates with critical current densities over 1 MA/cm2. Work is currently in progress to combine both the buffer layer and superconductor technologies to produce high-quality coupons of HTS tape made entirely by the non-vacuum CCVD process.

AbstractThin YBa2Cu307‐xfilms were grown by thermal and plasma enhanced MOCVD, and the effects of growth teiperature on the film properties were studied. The crystal Iinity of the fills deteriorated with growth teiperature, so superconductity decreased with growth teiperature. Thin fills grown by therial MOCVD at 600°C, 650°C, 700°C and 750°C had zero‐resistivity at 10K, 71K, 83K and 84K, respectively. The growth teiperature for superconducting fids is decreased by plasia enhancement. Thin films grown by plasma enhanced MOCVD at 515°C and 580 °C had zero‐resistivity at 60K and 85K. The critical current density of fills grown by plasia enhanced MOCVD at 580°C was 105A/cm2 at 77K.

The YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films formed by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) have been reported to have excellent superconducting properties including a sharp zero resistance transition temperature (Tc) of 89 K and a high critical current density of 2.3x106 A/cm2 or higher. The origin of the high critical current in the thin film compared to bulk materials is attributed to its structural properties such as orientation, grain boundaries and defects on the scale of the coherent length. In this report, we present microstructural aspects of the thin films deposited on the (100) LaAlO3 substrate, which process the highest critical current density.Details of the thin film growth process have been reported elsewhere. The thin films were examined in both planar and cross-section view by electron microscopy. TEM sample preparation was carried out using conventional grinding, dimpling and ion milling techniques. Special care was taken to avoid exposure of the thin films to water during the preparation processes.

AbstractPb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) is one of the most promising materials for ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) application. Among the various preparation methods, metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) has been recognized as a most important one to realize high density FeRAM because of its potential of high-step-coverage and large-area-uniformity of the film quality.In the present study, pulsed-MOCVD was developed in which a mixture of the source gases was pulsed introduced into reaction chamber with interval. By using this deposition technique, simultaneous improvements of the crystallinity, surface smoothness, and electrical property of the film have been reached by comparing to the conventional continuous gas-supplied MOCVD. Moreover, this film had larger remanent polarization (Pr) and lower leakage current density. This is owing to reevaporation of excess Pb element from the film and increase of migration on the surface of substrate during the interval time.This process is also very effective to decrease the deposition temperature of the film having high quality. In fact, the Pr and the leakage current density of polycrystalline Pb(Zr0.35Ti0.65)O3 film deposited at 415 °C were 41.4 μC/cm2 and on the order of 10−7 A/cm2 at 200 kV/cm. This Pr value was almost the same as that of the epitaxially grown film deposited at 415 °C with the same composition corrected for the orientation difference. This suggests that the polycrystalline PZT film prepared by pulsed-MOCVD had the epitaxial-grade ferroelectric properties even through the deposition temperature was as low as 415 °C. Moreover, large “process window” comparable to the process window at 580 °C, above 150 °C higher temperature and was widely used condition, was achieved even at 395°C by the optimization of the deposition condition.
