Since the discovery of Higb-Temperature-Superconductors (HTS) in 1986, a diversity of HTS-based microwave components has been demonstrated. Because of their low conductor losses, HTS-based components are very attractive for integration into microwave circuits for space communication systems. Recent advancements have made deposition of ferroelectric thin films onto HTS thin films possible. Due to the sensitivity of the ferroelectric's dielectric constant (€,) to an externally applied electric field (E), ferroelectric/superconducting structures could be used in the fabrication of low loss, tunable microwave components. In tbis paper, we report on our study of Bao.5Sro.s TiO/YB~Cu3 07_6 and Bao.OgSrO .92 TiO/YB~Cu3 07_6 ferroelectric/superconducting tbin fLlms on lanthanum aluminate (LaAI0 3 ) substrates. For the (Ba:Sr, 0.50:0.50) epitaxial sample, a € , of 425 and a loss tangent (tano) of 0.040 were measured at 298 K, 1.0 MHz, and zero applied E. For the same sample, a € , of 360 and tano of 0.036 were obtained at 77 K, 1.0 MHz, and zero applied E. Yariations in € , from 180 to 360 were observed over an applied E range of OY/cm : : : ; E :::; 5.62x10 4 Y /cm with little change in tano. However, the range of €, variation for the polycrystalline (Ba:Sr, 0.08:0.92) sample over OY/cm : : : ; E :::; 4.00x10 4 Ylcm was only 3.6 percent while tan 0 increased markedly. These results indicate that a lack of epitaxy between the felToelectric and superconducting layers decreases tuning and increases microwave losses.
