Abstract
A superconducting substrate structure with a high temperature superconducting (HTS) ground plane, for epitaxial growth of multilayers thereon is provided. The substrate structure includes a composite substrate structure with a first and a second substrate layer each covered by an HTS film, which HTS films are bonded together through annealing to form a buried superconducting layer wherein one of the substrate layers is polished to form a smooth insulating layer adjacent to an HTS layer. A method of producing a superconducting substrate structure is provided including the steps of arranging two substrate layers on which HTS films are provided such that the HTS films come in close contact to one another, applying a high pressure in an oxygen atmosphere and at an elevated temperature such that the HTS films are annealed and bonded together, and subsequently polishing one of the substrate layers to form a smooth insulator.
