We present an improved reaction patterning technique to fabricate very stable thin film devices of YBaCuO on various substrates. Our approach includes in situ patterning and completely avoids the contact between YBaCuO superconductor and chemical or physical etchants. Very thin, high quality YBaCuO structures are grown on ridges or in trenches and in situ protected by passivating layers, demonstrating excellent long term stability.
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.
