We fabricated YBCO thick films by using a screen printing method with $Y_2$BaCuO$_{5}$(Y211) and BaCO$_3$ powders on Cu-substrate in $N_2$ atmosphere. Cu-sheathed YBCO thick film process is more simple and economic than YBCO coated conductor methods. The heat treatment is performed in the range of 860 - 875 $^{circ}C$ for 5 min in the tube furnace of $N_2$ atmosphere. The flow rate of $N_2$ gas is fixed 60 $mell$/min. Microstructure and phases of thick films were investigated by optical microscope, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and SEM. At heat-treatment temperature, the thick films were partially melted by liquid reaction between CuO of oxidized copper substrate and the powders screen-printed on Cu-sheath. During the heat-treatment procedure, YBCO superconducting grains nucleate.e.
