Notes:
Thin films of YBa2Cu3O7−δ were sequentially grown on both sides of 3 in. diameter LaAlO3 substrates by a single-source MOCVD technique to facilitate the fabrication of double-sided high temperature superconductor microwave devices. YBCO films on both sides of the LaAlO3 substrates had thicknesses greater than 4000 A(ring), Tc's of 87–88.5 K, and microwave surface resistances as low as 23 mΩ at 94 GHz and 77 K (scaling to 260 μΩ at 10 GHz). It was found that the substrate temperature, brought to the desired value by radiant heating, played a critical role in the deposition of very low surface resistance YBCO films. Microwave bandpass filters with a 19-pole forward coupled configuration were fabricated from these films. The filters showed excellent performance with dissipation losses as low as 0.5 dB. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
