  • Patent number: 5504138
    Abstract: Circuit board devices are provided based on use of high temperature superconducting ceramic polymers comprising high temperature superconducting ceramic powders distributed in electrically insulative organic polymers which are thermosetting by reaction of a two-part liquid mixture or by catalytic or photoinitiation of a one-part liquid. The ceramic domains transmit their superconductivity across the insulating barriers of organic polymers enabling formation of superconductive lines and superconducting bonds to electronic devices to be adhered to circuit boards, and providing superconducting circuitry.

  • Patent number: H1170
    Abstract: The invention relates to volatile mixed metal alkoxides of the formula M'.sub.x M.sub.y Cu.sub.z (OR).sub.x+2(y+z) wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Ba, Sr, and Ca, M' is an alkali metal, x=0-6, y=0-4 and z=1 to 6, and x and y are not 0 at the same time, and R is selected from the group consisting of CMe.sub.3, CMe.sub.2 Et, CMeEt.sub.2, CMe.sub.2 Pr, CMeEtPr, CEt.sub.3 or combinations of these substituents. Volatile alkoxides of Y and Cu are known. These volatile alkoxides can be used in a CVD process where stoichiometric quantities of the material are sublimated, transported to a substrate and decomposed to an oxide with or without the presence of oxygen. The oxides are then treated in a known manner to produce the superconducting film.
