Abstract

A thin-film conductor is made of (Sr.sub.1-y Ca.sub.y).sub.1-x CuO.sub.z, wherein 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.1 and 0.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.0.5, and z is approximately equal to or smaller than 2. In a method of fabricating the thin-film conductor, it is preferably to heat a substrate. A first atomic layer of metal including Sr or including Sr and Ca is formed on the heated substrate. A second atomic layer of oxide containing Cu is formed on the first atomic layer. A first atomic layer of metal including Sr or including Sr and Ca is formed on the second atomic layer. These steps are repeated to form a lamination of an alternation of the first atomic layers and the second atomic layers on the substrate.
