Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a thin film of a compound oxide, different types of materials for forming the compound oxide are evaporated in vacuum. The evaporated materials are heated and deposited on a substrate to form a thin film. An oxygen ion beam having energy of 10 to 200 eV is implanted in the thin film which is being formed on the substrate. Alignment of the constituting elements is performed on the basis of a substrate temperature and energy of the oxygen ion beam, thereby causing epitaxial growth.
