Abstract

Post-annealing of superconducting Bi2Sr2Can-1CunOx (BSCCO) thin films deposited by sputtering is essential for obtaining a single 2223 phase. However, optimum annealing temperature is limited to a very narrow range, needing to pass liquid phase for 2223 crystallization while not exceeding re-evaporation point. In this study, we optimized annealing conditions and observed the crystal growth process. As a result, single phase 2223 thin films with critical temperature of 108 K were obtained at 850 °C, while mixed phase thin films of 2223 and 2212 were grown above 855 °C. This is due to the re-evaporation of the thin film compounds, and these results reflect the recrystallization process after melting.
