A tape-manufacturing system (10) for coating at least one tape substrate (28) such as, for example, for the manufacture of a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) conductor is disclosed. The tape-manufacturing system includes at least two electron beam (e-beam) deposition sources (12), at least one assist source (14) and, optionally, a controller (16). Each e-beam deposition source may be in-process repairable. Each e-beam deposition source (12) is capable of to communicating an evaporant material with at least a portion of at least one tape substrate (28) to deposit a coating thereon. The at least one assist source (14) is capable of communicating a beam of a species to the coating. The controller (16) communicates with the at least two e-beam deposition sources (12) and the at least one assist source (14). |
