MgB2, due to its high transition temperature of ~40K and absence of weak links between grains, is a candidate material for superconducting radio-frequency (RF) cavities for future particle accelerators. Peking University has developed a HPCVD method for MgB2 fabricating on metallic substrates. We have grown MgB2 films on the substrates of Cu, Nb and Mo[1] successfully. Recently, for better quality of MgB2 film, we tried to fabricate MgB2 film on Cu substrate which was coated a thin film of Mo on the surface. We also tried to obtain the large-area MgB2 film (2-inches in diameter) on metallic substrate with good uniform for RF measurement. The method and results of recent experiments will be presented.
