SUPERCONDUCTING WIRING LINES AND PROCESS FOR FABRICATING THE SAME

摘要

Patterned superconducting wiring lines each consisting of a portion of a thin film of an oxide superconductor deposited on a flat substrate, the portion having a predetermined crystal orientation (a-axis or c-axis orientation) with respect to a flat surface of the substrate, remaining portions of the thin film of the oxide superconductor having a different crystal orientation (c-axis or a-axis orientation) from the portion and/or consisting of an insulation zones. Both of the portion and the remaining portions have a substantially identical thickness so that the thin film has a substantially flat planar surface.
