Fabrication of high-temperature superconducting striated tape combinations

A method of making a high-temperature superconducting striated tape combination comprising the steps of:

• placing a first striated high-temperature superconducting tape with a patterned side facing up and with indexed holes onto an alignment jig using indexing pins as a guide;
• placing a solder release tape with preforms and with indexed holes and wherein the preforms are facing the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape onto the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape on the alignment jig;
• pressing the solder release tape with preforms wherein the preforms are facing the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape onto the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape;
• separating the release tape from the solder preforms;
• allowing the solder preforms to remain bonded to the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape;
• providing a laser-patterned double sided adhesive with windows and with a first liner and a second liner and with indexed holes;
• removing the first liner of the double sided adhesive;
• aligning the laser-patterned double sided adhesive over the indexing pins of the alignment jig with the adhesive side facing the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape;
• placing the laser-patterned double sided adhesive onto the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape;
• wherein the windows of the laser-patterned double sided adhesive are aligned with the solder preforms;
• removing the second liner from the laser-patterned double sided adhesive;
• aligning indexing holes of a second striated high-temperature superconducting tape with patterned side facing the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape over the indexing pins of the alignment jig;
• placing the second striated high-temperature superconducting tape onto the laser-patterned double sided adhesive;
• applying pressure and/or heat to the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape and to the laser-patterned double sided adhesive and to the second striated high-temperature superconducting tape;
• and
• bonding the first striated high-temperature superconducting tape and the laser-patterned double sided adhesive and the second striated high-temperature superconducting tape.
