A novel double buffer of Eu2CuO4 (ECO)/YSZ (yttrium-stabilized zirconia) was developed for growing YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO) thin films on Si substrates. In these films, the severe reaction between Si and YBCO is blocked by the first YSZ layer, whereas, the degradation of crystallinity and superconductivity in the grown YBCO is greatly improved by the second ECO layer. Such an ECO material possesses a very stable 214-T’ structure and excellent compatibilities with YBCO and YSZ. The result shows that the epitaxy and crystallinity of YBCO deposited on Si could be considerably enhanced by using the ECO/YSZ double buffer. The grown films are characterized by high-resolution X-ray diffraction, grazing incidence X-ray reflection, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. It is found that well defined interfaces are formed at YBCO/ECO/YSZ boundaries. No immediate layer could be seen. The defect density in all grown layers is kept at a lower level. The YBCO film surface turns out to be very smooth. These films have full superconducting transitions above 88 K and high current carrying capacity at 77 K. The successful growth of highly epitaxial YBCO thin films on silicon with ECO/YSZ buffer, demonstrate the advantages of such a double buffer structure.
