摘　　要：A full solution method has been developed as a low cost process of YBa2Cu3OT-x （YBCO） coated conductor fabrication. In this study, highly biaxially textured SrTiO3 （STO） buffer layers were fabricated on LaAlO3 （LAO） single crystal substrates by sol-gel method using metal alkoxides as the staring precursor materials. High quality YBCO superconducting film was then fabricated on STO-buffered LAO substrate by trifluoroacetic metalorganic deposition （TFA-MOD） method. For the YBCO superconducting film, only （001） diffraction peaks can be detected by XRD （X-ray diffraction） analysis with no other phases detectable. Especially, Inplane texture of YBCO film is improved compared to that of STO buffer layer from phi scans analysis, which indicates the self-epitaxy phenomenon explained by considering interracial energy. STO and YBCO films both show c-axis oriented grains growth and have uniform surface microstructure. A critical transition temperature, TC （R=0） of 89.5 K and a critical current density of 2 mA/cm2 （77 K, self-field） were obtained for a 0.2μm thick YBCO film on STO-buffered LAO substrate. No reaction between YBCO and STO was detected by XRD analysis. This full solution process may provide a promising low cost fabrication route for YBCO coated conductors on metal tape.A full solution method has been developed as a low cost process of YBa2Cu3OT-x （YBCO） coated conductor fabrication.
