Thin films of the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn₅ were prepared on sapphire substrates with different orientations by combining sputtering (Ce and Co) and evaporation (In). The sputter targets of Ce and Co were arranged in a face-to-face geometry with a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the target surface thus providing an oscillatory movement of the secondary electrons between the targets the latter acting as electric mirrors. Indium was evaporated from a BN oven. In the course of our studies the composition of the films, controlled by RBS and EDX, was varied between ± 30 % for the three elements and the growth temperature ranged from 500 to 750 ^∘ C. The films obtained so far showed transition temperatures between 1.5 and 2.0 K and the characteristic maximum in resistivity near 40 K.
