Abstract: A superconductor tape and method for fabricating same are disclosed. Embodiments are directed to a superconductor tape including a substrate and a buffer stack. In one embodiment, the buffer stack includes: an Ion Beam-Assisted Deposition (IBAD) template layer above the substrate; a homo-epitaxial film of MgO or TiN above the IBAD template layer; an epitaxial film of silver above the homo-epitaxial film; and a homo-epitaxial film of LaMnO3 (LMO) above the silver epitaxial film. The superconductor tape also includes a superconductor film above the buffer stack. These and other embodiments achieve a LMO film with substantially improved texture, resulting in a superconductor structure having high critical current and significantly reduced power consumption and cost.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and method for fabricating same is disclosed. Embodiments are directed to a semiconductor device and fabrication of same which include a polycrystalline or amorphous substrate. An electrically conductive Ion Beam-Assisted Deposition (IBAD) template layer is positioned above the substrate. At least one electrically conductive hetero-epitaxial buffer layer is positioned above the IBAD template layer. The at least one buffer layer has a resistivity of less than 100 μΩcm. The semiconductor device and method foster the use of bottom electrodes thereby avoiding complex and expensive lithography processes.

Abstract: An MOCVD system fabricates high quality superconductor tapes with variable thicknesses. The MOCVD system can include a gas flow chamber between two parallel channels in a housing. A substrate tape is heated and then passed through the MOCVD housing such that the gas flow is perpendicular to the tape's surface. Precursors are injected into the gas flow for deposition on the substrate tape. In this way, superconductor tapes can be fabricated with variable thicknesses, uniform precursor deposition, and high critical current densities.

Abstract: A superconductor tape and method for manufacturing, measuring, monitoring, and controlling same are disclosed. Embodiments are directed to a superconductor tape which includes a superconductor film overlying a buffer layer which overlies a substrate. In one embodiment, the superconductor film is defined as having a c-axis lattice constant higher than 11.74 Angstroms. In another embodiment, the superconductor film comprises BaMO3, where M=Zr, Sn, Ta, Nb, Hf, or Ce, and which has a (101) peak of BaMO3 elongated along an axis that is between 60° to 90° from an axis of the (001) peaks of the superconductor film. These and other embodiments achieve well-aligned nanocolumnar defects and thus a high lift factor, which can result in superior critical current performance of the tape in, for example, high magnetic fields.
