ABSTRACT:
Thin superconducting NbCN films are deposited by reactive sputtering onto a dielectric substrate inside a vacuum chamber. The substrate is heated to a temperature of 600.degree.-1200.degree. C., ultra-pure Argon is introduced into the chamber, and niobium is presputtered from a high-purity target onto a shutter. A cyanogen and nitrogen gas mixture is introduced into the chamber at a rate of approximately 10.sup.-6 Torr liters/sec, and a shutter is opened exposing the substrate to the sputtered niobium. The deposited niobium reacts with the cyanogen-nitrogen gas mixture to form NbCN films of exceptional purity, and which exhibit superior superconductor properties.
