The growth properties of $Y_2$O$_3$ and CeO$_2$ films for the buffer layers on Ni tapes were studied comparatively. The water vapor larger than 2$\times$10$^{-5}$ Torr and the substrate temperature higher than $700^{\circ}C$ were required for the proper growth of $Y_2$O$_3$ films, while the upper limits of the water vapor and the lower limit of the substrate temperatures for the proper growth of CeO$_2$ were 1$\times$10$^{-5}$ Torr and 50$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. These imply that the windows of the growth conditions of CeO$_2$ are wider than those of $Y_2$O$_3$. However the formation of cracks in CeO$_2$ films were its disadvantage, while $Y_2$O$_3$ showed no cracks. PACS. No 85.25.K, 81.15.A.

Buffer layers such as $CeO_2\;and\;Yb_2O_3$ films for YBCO coated conductors were deposited on (100) $SrTiO_3$ single crystals and (100) textured Ni substrates by a metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system of the hot-wall type. The substrates were moved with the velocity of 40 cm/hr. Source flow rate, $Ar/O_2$ flow rate and deposition temperature were main processing variables. The degree of film epitaxy and surface morphology were investigated using XRD and SEM, respectively. On a STO substrate, the $CeO_2$ film was well grown epitaxially above the deposition temperature of $450^{\circ}C$. However, on a Ni substrate, the XRD showed NiO (111) and (200) peaks due to Ni oxidation as well as (111) and (200) film growth. For the films deposited with $O_2$ gas as oxygen source, it was found that the NiO film was formed at the interface between the buffer layer and the Ni substrate. The NiO layer interrupts the epitaxial growth of the buffer layer. It seems that the epitaxial growth of the buffer layer on Ni metal substrates using $O_2$ gas is difficult. We are considering a new method avoiding Ni oxidation with $H_2O$ vapor instead of $O_2$ gas.

As a rule, high temperature superconducting coated conductors have multi-layered buffers consisting of seed, diffusion barrier and cap layers. Multi-buffer layer deposition requires longer fabrication time. This is one of main reasons which increases fabrication cost Thus, single buffer layer deposition seems to be important for practical coated conductor process. In this study, a single layered buffer deposition of $CeO_2$ for low cost coated conductors has been tried using thermal evaporation technique 100nm-thick $CeO_2$ layers deposited by thermal evaporation were found to act as a diffusion layer. $0.4{\mu}m$-thick SmBCO superconducting layers were deposited by thermal co-evaporation on the $CeO_2$ buffered Ni-W substrate. Critical current of 118A/$cm^2$ was obtained for the SmBCO coated conductors.

Cube texture를 갖는 Ni기판위에 MOCVD(Metal Chemical Vapor Deposition)를 이용하여 NiO, CeO$_2$, YBCO 박막을 제조하였다. NiO(200)와 CeO$_2$(200) buffer layer는 450${\sim}$470$^{\circ}$C에서 10분간 MOCVD방법으로 (100)<001>Ni 기판위에 직접 증착하였다. 제조된 NiO, CeO$_2$ buffer layer는 조직이 치밀하며 표면의 상태가 매우 좋으며 Ni기판 위에 epitaxial하게 성장하였다. NiO는 Ni기판과 NiO<100>//Ni<100>의 방위관계를 가지고 성장하였으며, CeO$_2$는 증착조건에 따라 CeO$_2$ <100>//Ni<100> 및 CeO$_2$ <110>//Ni<100> 의 방위관계를 가지고 성장하였다. 증착된 NiO막과 CeO$_2$막에서 균열은 발생하지 않았다. MOCVD법으로 표면에 biaxial texture를 갖는 ceramic buffer를 증착시킨 NiO/Ni및 CeO$_2$/Ni 기판위에 YBCO박막을 MOCVD법으로 제조하였다. YBCO막은 기판온도 800$^{\circ}$C,증착압력 10torr, 산소분압을 0.7torr로 하여 10분간 행하였다. 공급원료의 조성에 따라 YBCO의 막의 texture와 형성되는 상이 변화되었다. NiO/Ni및 CeO$_2$/Ni 기판 위에 증착된 YBCO막은 c축 배향성을 가지고 성장하였으며, -scan 및 ${\varphi}$ -scan으로 측정한 (500)면의 in-plane과 (110)면의 out-of-plane의 FWHM(Full Width Half Maximum)값은 각각 10$^{\circ}$ 미만으로 우수하였다.

We have fabricated good quality superconducting $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ thin films on Hastelloy(Ni-Cr-Mo alloys) with $CeO_2$ buffer layers by in-situ pulsed laser deposition in a multi-target processing chamber. Using one of electrical properties of YBCO superconducting which the resistance approaches to zero dramatically on transition temperature, we have researched to make power transmission line, we have deposited YBCO thin film on flexible metallic substrate. However, it is difficult to make films on flexible metallic substrates due to both interdiffusion problem between metallic substrate and superconducting layer and non-crystallization of YBCO on amorphous substrate. From early research, two ways-using textured metallic substrate and buffer layer-were proposed to overcome theses difficulties. We have chosen $CeO_2$ as a buffer layer which has cubic structure of $5.41{\AA}$ lattice parameter and only 0.2% of lattice mismatch with $3.82{\AA}$ of a-axis lattice parameter of YBCO on (110) direction of $CeO_2$. In order to enhance the crystallization of YBCO films on metallic substrates we deposited $CeO_2$ buffer layers at varying temperature $700^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$ and $O_2$ pressure. By X-ray diffraction, we found that each domination of (200) and (111) orientations were strongly relied upon the deposition temperature in $CeO_2$ layer and the change of the domination of orientation affects the crystallization of YBCO upper layer.

The properties of buffer layer for thermal and chemical stability in coated conductor is a very important issue. $CeO_2$ has desirable thermal and chemical stability as well as good lattice match. In this study, $CeO_2$ was deposited by electron beam deposition. The MgO(001) single crystal and LMO buffered IBAD substrate(LMO/IBAD-MgO/$Y_2O_3/Al_2O_3$/Hastelloy) were used as substrates, which have $\Delta\phi$ values of ${\sim}8.9^{\circ}$. The epitaxial $CeO_2$ films was deposited with high deposition rate of $12{\sim}16\;{\AA}/sec$. During deposition, the change of oxygen partial pressure(${\rho}O_2$) does not cause change in c-axis texture. In case of $CeO_2$ on MgO single crystal, the substrate temperature was optimized at $750^{\circ}C$ with superior $\Delta\phi$ and $\Delta\omega$ value. Otherwise, In case of LMO buffered IBAD substrate, It was optimized at $650^{\circ}C$ with increasing its deposition thickness of $CeO_2$, which was finally obtained with best $\Delta\phi$ value of $5.5^{\circ}$, $\Delta\omega$ value of $2^{\circ}$ and Ra value of 2.2 nm.

The MFIS capacitors were fabricated using a metalorganic decomposition method. Thin layers of $ZrO_2$ and $CeO_2$ were deposited as a buffer layer on Si substrate and BLT thin films were used as a ferroelectric layer. The electrical and structural properties of the MFIS structure were investigated. X -ray diffraction was used to determine the phase of the BLT thin films and the quality of the $ZrO_2$ and $CeO_2$ layer. AES show no interdiffusion and the formation of amorphous $SiO_2$ layer is suppressed by using the $ZrO_2$ and $CeO_2$ film as buffer layer between the BLT film and Si substrate. The width of the memory window in the C-V curves for the $BLT/ZrO_2/Si$ and $BLT/CeO_2/Si$ structure is 2.94 V and 1.3V, respectively. The experimental results show that the BLT-based MFIS structure is suitable for non-volatile memory FETs with large memory window.

We investigated the effects of residual gas partial pressure on the property of a CeO$_2$ buffer layer on a textured Ni tape, where the buffer layer was deposited by e-beam evaporation. The oxygen partial pressure were varied from 10$^{-7}$ to 10$^{-4}$ Torr. we also changed the surface condition for the surface oxygenation. We'll describe the detail of the resultant textures of the buffer layers and effects of YBCO growth on them
