Lumped element electrical components, such as inductors and capacitors, are formed to include high temperature superconducting materials. In the preferred embodiment, thin film epitaxial high temperature superconductors are patterned to form capacitors and inductors on low loss substrates. Preferably, a ground plane is formed on the back side of the substrate, most preferably being formed of high temperature superconducting material, or other highly conductive materials such as gold or copper. Various advantageous structures include a planar spiral structure, a zig-zag serpentine structure, a single coil structure and a double coil structure. Single layer and multilayer structures are included. Improved narrow bandpass filters and high Q resonator structures are formed.
