Popis: An alternative reactive sputtering from SrCuO 2 and NaCuO 2 targets was adopted for a synthesis of an infinite-layer Sr 1− x Na x CuO 2 film. In a microwave cavity reactive oxygen gas was activated and generated much radicals O * . The substrate temperature range for the crystallization of the tetragonal phase was enlarged by using radicals O * . The tetragonal infinite-layer SrCuO 2 film showed the phase with the comparatively large c parameter. The infinite-layer structure with the small c parameter was the dominant tetragonal phase in the Sr 1− x Na x CuO 2 films. The analysis by XRD patterns showed that substitutions of Na atoms increased defects of oxygen in CuO 2 layers and resulted in a Sr-poor composition. It was confirmed that activated oxygen gas by microwave promotes more oxidation reactions during a film deposition than non-activated oxygen gas. © 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
