Abstract
A method of manufacturing YBCO superconducting thin films is obtained which is capable of providing superconducting thin films having excellent crystallinity in a high yield by introducing a new film formation parameter in a hybrid plasma sputtering method. When a Y--Ba--Cu--O type superconducting thin film is formed by using a parallel plate sputtering method, a high-frequency voltage generated by a high-frequency power source is superimposed on a DC voltage generated by a DC power source and applied to the cathode electrode at the same time, an electrically conductive YBCO target is placed on the cathode, and the film formation conditions are controlled on the basis of the difference between the voltage drops in each ion sheath formed on the substrate and directly on the target by applying a DC voltage to a substrate holder from the DC power source.
