Comparison Of High-Temperature Superconductors In Multi-Chip Module Applications, D. E. Ford, S. S. Scott, S. S. Ang, W. D. Brown Jan 1994

Comparison Of High-Temperature Superconductors In Multi-Chip Module Applications, D. E. Ford, S. S. Scott, S. S. Ang, W. D. Brown

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

In the application of high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs) in multi-chip module (MCM) technology, it is first necessary to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the various HTSC compounds. The standard criteria for comparing the suitability of HTSCs in electronics applications has been critical temperature (Tc )and critical current density (Jc ). It is also necessary to consider the physical properties of HTSCs in relation to the various processing techniques required in fabrication of MCMs. These techniques can be grouped into four main areas: deposition, patterning, packaging, and characterization. The four main HTSC materials, Y-Ba-Cu-O, Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O, Tl,Ba-Ca-Cu-O and Hg-Ba-Ca-Cu-O, will be compared …


Sputter Deposition And Thallination Of Ti-Ba-Ca-Cu-O Superconducting Thin Films, T. H. Dhayagude, S. S. Ang, W. D. Brown Jan 1993

Sputter Deposition And Thallination Of Ti-Ba-Ca-Cu-O Superconducting Thin Films, T. H. Dhayagude, S. S. Ang, W. D. Brown

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Thallination techniques used for the fabrication of sputter-deposited TI2Ba2CaCu 2Ox and TI2Ba2Ca2Cu3Ox superconducting thin films were investigated. Differences in elemental composition of precursor Ba-Ca-Cu-O sputtering targets were found to yield different superconducting phases. Thallination conditions which yielded transition temperatures as high as 122 K for samples annealed in air are described. Finally, reactive ion etching of films using a mixture of chlorine and argon gases is discussed.


Multiple Sample Cryostat For The Determination Of Superconductor Properties, G. Burnside, Roger M. Hawk, Paul C. Mcleod Jan 1993

Multiple Sample Cryostat For The Determination Of Superconductor Properties, G. Burnside, Roger M. Hawk, Paul C. Mcleod

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Cryostats which are currently used to characterize the properties of superconductors between 4 K and 100 K are primarily single sample devices. The purpose of this paper is to present an instrument design which can hold up to five (5) one cm. diameter samples at a stable temperature (+ /-0.1K) within the above range specified while measurements of the sample properties are made.
