  • $MgB_2$ thin films with superior superconducting properties are very promising for superconducting magnets, electronic devices and coated conductor electric power applications. A clear understanding of flux pinning mechanism in $MgB_2$ films could be a big aid in improving the performance of $MgB_2$ by the enhancement of $J_c$. The fabrication advancement and the understanding of flux pinning mechanism of $MgB_2$ thin and thick films fabricated by using hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) are reviewed. The distinct kind of $MgB_2$ films, such as single-crystal like $MgB_2$ thin films, $MgB_2$ epitaxial columnar thick films, and a-axis-oriented $MgB_2$ films are included for flux pinning mechanism investigation. Various attempts made by researchers to improve further the flux pinning property and $J_c$ performance by means of doping in $MgB_2$ thin films by using HPCVD are also summarized.

  • RF HPCVD(Helicon Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition) has been successfully constructed for diamond thin films. The system consists of plasma generation tube, deposition chamber, pumping lines for gas system. A mixture of $CH_4 and H_2$is used for reaction. Two thermocouples, a quartz tube surrounded by a RF antenna and a magnet, and a high temperature heater were set up in the deposition chamber. The process for the thin film diamond deposition has been carried put in a high vacuum system at a substrate temperature of $800^{\circ}C$, and pressure of 5 mtorr. It is also demonstrated. that the RF HPCVD system has advantages for controlling deposition parameters easily.

  • By using the hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) technique, we have fabricated $MgB_2$ thick films on $Al_{2}O_3$ substrates with various impurity layers of Ni, Ti, and SiC. We have found a significant enhancement of the critical current density ($J_c$) for $MgB_2$ films grown on impurity layered substrates, indicating that additional impurity layers were provided as possible pinning sites by chemical doping in $MgB_2$ films. All samples doped by Ni, Ti, and SiC were observed to have high superconducting transition temperatures of 39 - 41 K. The $J_c$ of $MgB_2$ films grown on SiC impurity layered substrates showed three times higher than that of undoped films at high magnetic fields above 1 T.

  • Diamond films have been achieved on Si(100) substrates using helicon plasma chemical vapor deposition(HPCVD), Gas mixtures with methane and hydrogen have been used. The growth characteristics were investigated by means of X-ray photoelectroton spectroscopy, Atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction. We obtained a plasma density as high as 10$\^$10/~10$\^$11/ cm$\^$-3/ by helicon source. The smooth(100) faces of submicron diamond crystallites were found to exhibit pyramidal shaped architecture, The XPS spectrum for the nucleation layer indicates the presence of diamond at 285.4 eV, close to the reported value of 285.5 eV for diamond , XRD results demonstrates the existence of polycrystalline diamond as the diamond (111) and (220) peaks.

  • [ $MgB_2$ ] thin films were fabricated using hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition (HPCVD) method on silicon substrates with buffers of alumina grown by using atomic layer deposition method. The growth war in a range of temperatures $500\;{\sim}\;600^{\circ}C$ and under the reactor pressures of $25\;{\sim}\;50\;Torr$. There are some interfacial reactions in the as-grown films with impurities of mostly $Mg_2Si$, $MgAl_2O_4$, and other phases. The $T_c$'s of $MgB_2$ films were observed to be as high as 39 K, but the transition widths were increased with growth temperatures. The magnetization was measured as a function of temperature down to the temperature of 5 K, but the complete Meissner effect was not observed, which shows that the granular nature of weak links is prevailing. The formation of mostly $Mg_2Si$ impurity in HPCVD process is discussed, considering the diffusion and reaction of Mg vapor with silicon substrates.
