Abstract

We report here a plasma‐enhanced organometallic chemical vapor deposition process for the preparation of YBa2Cu3O7‐x thin films using two rf plasma coupling configurations. For the films grown under a direct plasma glow, the YBa2Cu3O7‐x phase is not found in the as‐deposited state. However, by employing plasma‐activated nitrous oxide as the reactant gas, superconducting YBa2Cu3O7‐x films having a low carbon content and a mirror‐like surface have been prepared in‐situ at a substrate temperature of 610°C using an organometallic chemical vapor deposition process.
