Abstract

An amorphous or polycrystalline film which continuously covers the exposed surface of a single crystal substrate and an insulating film, is deposited in ultra-high vacuum and then heat-treated. The film is subjected to solid phase epitaxial growth at a temperature far lower than in prior-art methods, whereby a single crystal film is formed.
