The extraordinary ceramic characteristic of high-Tc superconducting material causes the difficulty and low yield of high-Tc SQUID fabrication. Therefore, the high-Tc SQUID-based measurement system is rare in the commercial market. However, it was reported that the world reserves of helium are running out and the prices of helium are expected to increase by up to a factor of 30 after 2015. At that time the running cost of low-Tc SQUID-based measurement system will be dramatically increasing. Consequently, the developments of high-Tc SQUID-based measurement systems are urgent and have huge potential of commercialization. In this project, there are three goals: (1) to obtain the high quality high-Tc superconducting thin film with large area, we will collabroate with the supporting company to build a sputter system for large area deposition. (2) We will design and fabricate the ultrasensitive high-Tc SQUID by the large area high-Tc superconducting thin film. We expect to achieve a magnetic field noise better than 10 fT/Hz1/2 at 1 kHz and 30 fT/Hz1/2 at 1 Hz at 77 K. (3) We will integrate the ultrasensitive high-Tc SQUID to the ultra-low filed NMR system, magnetic relaxation measurement system and the magnetic immunoassay system for biomagnetic applications. After finishing this project, we expect to hold the key technology of large area high quality high-Tc superconducting thin film deposition and the ultrasensitive high-Tc SQUID for ultra-low field NMR system.大面積高溫超導薄膜高溫超導SQUID低磁場核磁共振生醫檢測large area superconducting thin filmhigh-Tc SQUIDultra-low field NMRbiomedical detection產學合作計畫-研發大面積高溫超導薄膜、高靈敏度SQUID磁場感測器與偵測系統應用於生醫檢測(1/2)
