Abstract
A method for growing a superconductive film, comprising: PA1 (a) helically winding a tape substrate around the outer periphery of a cylindrical or columnar holder and PA1 (b) growing a superconductive film on the surface of the tape substrate by plasma flash evaporation, while rotating the holder. According to the present invention, the heat contact between the holder and the tape substrate is stabilized and a high performance tape conductor can be obtained. In addition, degradation of superconductive performance possibly experienced, when the tape is used for a transmission cable or the like, can be lessened. Furthermore, the large area growth, which is the characteristic feature of plasma flash evaporation, is effectively utilized and production efficiency of a long tape conductor can be enhanced.
