The object of the present proposal is to develop a high temperature superconducting (HTS) thin film deposition technology on flexible ceramic wafers. This technology will be then used for the development of radio-frequency coils used in magnetic resonance imaging applications. The advantage of such devices is two-fold. First, the use of high temperature superconducting films leads to an increased signal-to-noise ratio of the coil, due to the low surface resistance of such materials. Secondly, the flexibility of the surface coils would extend the field-of-view of the investigated sample, while also allowing a phased coil array configuration of multiple superconducting coils. This again will benefit the larger field-of-view and increased penetration of the investigated sample. The superconducting coil fabrication will be performed using state-of -the-art processes used in field of HTS thin film growth. A solution deposition planarization layer will be deposited on the ceramic substrate in order to prepare a low roughness template for further growth. Next, a bi-axially textured buffer layer architecture will be deposited. This will ensure an epitaxial growth of the superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) which will be deposited by pulsed laser deposition. The epitaxial structure of the YBCO is needed for optimal DC and RF properties. Finally, after a ultra-violet lithography step, the as obtained superconducting RF coil will be characterized and its performance evaluated (Q-factor and S parameters).
