  • Patent number: 8030247
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a precursor solution for forming a biaxially oriented buffer layer through low-temperature heat treatment, by which a highly oriented buffer layer can be formed even when the precursor solution is heat-treated at a low temperature of 1000° C. or lower at the time of forming a buffer layer through a wet chemical method. The precursor solution is prepared by adding a carboxylate or an alkoxide of bismuth, boron, lead, gallium, or the like, which is a metal salt for forming an oxide having a low melting point of 1200° C. or lower after pyrolysis in an oxygen atmosphere, to a precursor solution for forming a buffer layer through a wet chemical method.

  • Patent number: 7402230
    Abstract: The present invention is provided to manufacture a low magnetic loss metal tape with biaxial texture and a manufacturing method thereof. The low magnetic loss metal tape has a non-magnetic metal layer deposited on a nickel layer in the form of stack. The low magnetic loss metal tape with biaxial texture is manufactured by the following steps. A biaxially textured nickel layer is formed on a surface of cathode rotating in an electroplating bath including a cathode with single crystalline structure or similarly high orientation, and an anode made of high purity nickel. The nickel layer formed on the cathode is then washed in a water bath. Subsequently, a non-magnetic metal layer is formed on the washed nickel layer rotating in a plating bath with a non-magnetic metal solution. The metal tape is finally manufactured by delaminating and winding the nickel/non-magnetic metal layers.

  • Patent number: 7175735
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for manufacturing a superconducting tape grown epitaxially by a replication process. According to the technique, a long superconducting tape can be manufactured using a loop-shaped base. Further disclosed is a method for manufacturing a metal oxide device which comprises the steps of forming a solvent-soluble separation layer on a base having a single crystal or textured surface, forming a superconducting layer on the separation layer, forming a support layer on the superconducting layer, and removing the separation layer by dissolution in a solvent. According to the method, it is possible to manufacture a superconducting tape consisting of the superconducting layer and the support layer separated from the bath, and having the same crystallinity as that of the base (replication).
