We have investigated the photolithography on the superconducting YBCO thin films with chemical etching. It was found that the films can be etched by HCl—H3PO4 mixing acid and the side-etching can be suppressed down to one micrometer. The influence on the critical temperature can be minimized to two degrees under well-controlled conditions.
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.
