The formation of band-shaped HTSL on a metal substrate is disclosed. The HTSL includes at least one buffer layer comprising zirconates and/or rare-earth oxides. The HTSL layer is formed on the buffer layer. The buffer layer has a texturing that in the case of a RHEED measurement results in discrete reflexes and not only in diffraction rings. In particular, the buffer layer may be textured along its interface with the HTSL layer.
