Large-area pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has reached a state in terms of film quality and reproducibility which makes possible now real market applications of PLDYBazCu3074 (YBCO) thin films on both sides of R-plane sapphire substrates as HTSC devices in satellite and mobile communication systems. Bandpass filters optimized from PLD-YBCO thin films presently fulfill the requirements of the main national companies which are active in future communication techniques. A relatively simple PLD arrangement with fixed laser plume and rotating substrate, with an offset between the laser plume and the center of the substrate is employed to deposit laterally homogeneous 3-inch diameter Ag-doped YBCO thin films. With the experience of more than 1, OOO doublesided 3-inch diam. films a high degree of homogeneity and reproducibility of j, and R is reached. The extension up to &inch substrate diameter will increase the productivity of the flexible PLD technique considerably.Index Terms-High-temperature superconducting thin films, microwave devices, pulsed laser deposition, YBazCu3074.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
