Abstract

A method for fabricating a superconductive film composed of a RE.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.x compound, or a (Bi.Sr.Ca.Cu.O) compound. In a first embodiment, oxides or carbonates of the component materials, namely Y.sub.2 O.sub.3, BaCO.sub.3, and CuO are mixed in atomic ratios of 1:2:3, according to the chemical formula of RE.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.x, and sintered to create a rhombic perovskite structure. The sintered mixture is powdered again, with added powdered amounts of Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 and powdered metallic Cu, and sintered. The sintered product is used as the source for an electron beam evaporator. In a second embodiment the (Bi.Sr.Ca.Cu.O) compound is formed into a sintered pellet which is composed of a mixture of one part of BiO, 3-15 parts of SrCO.sub.3, 4-30 parts of CaCO.sub.3, and 2-5 parts of CuO, in atomic ratios of Bi, Sr, Ca and Cu.
