Superconducting thick films (200$\mu$m-300$\mu$m) of YBCO have been fabricated successfully on MgO substrates by a new approach. The precursor powders (YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$(Y123)+0.1molY2BaCuO5(Y211)) are placed between two MgO (10mm x 10mm) slices to form sandwich structure. The YBCO thick films have been obtained from the precursors by modified melt growth process. Resistance measurements of YBCO thick films show Tcon of 87.3K and $\Delta$T of 4.5K. Estimates using hysteresis loops and the Bean model give a value of 2.78 x 10$^{3}$ A/cm2 (77K, 0T) for the critical current density. The observations of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) show the supercoducting Y123 phase matrix containing discrete Y211 inclusions. Keywords: superconducting thick films, YBCO, Y211 phase, peritectic temperature
