Abstract
We describe a technique for fabricating superconducting thin‐film multiturn coils from the high‐temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−x. We have built 10‐turn and 19‐turn square spiral coils, 1 mm on a side, that are suitable for coupling to a thin‐film dc superconducting quantum interference device. The coils are constructed with a three‐layer crossover technology using SrTiO3 as an insulator. Each layer is deposited in situ with a pulsed excimer laser, and is patterned with shadow masks or photoresist and an Ar ion mill. The best coil had a transition temperature of approximately 82 K, and a critical current at 77 K of 1.4 mA, corresponding to a critical current density of 2×104 A cm−2.Keywords
