Abstract
Abstract An Improved method of manufacturing superconducting ceramics in the form of a thin film are described. The thin film is first formed of a superimposed structure composed of three films which contain a rare earth metal, an alkalline earth metal and copper respectively. Then the superimposed thin film is fired to convert to a superconducting film.

A method of forming a superconducting ceramic film comprising: forming at least one layer on a surface to be coated, said layer consisting of a plurality of superimposed thin films, each of which contains a different metallic constituent of a superconducting ceramic material; and firing said layer in an oxidizing gas containing atmosphere and transforming the same to said superconducting ceramic film.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
62 words
A method of forming a superconducting ceramic film comprising: forming at least one layer on a surface to be coated, said layer consisting of a plurality of superimposed thin films, each of which contains a different metallic constituent of a superconducting ceramic material; and firing said layer in an oxidizing gas containing atmosphere and transforming the same to said superconducting ceramic film.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said thin films are formed by vacuum evaporation deposition, sputtering, printing, or vapor phase method.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
