Abstract

A thin film having a good orientation and crystallinity. A method of producing the thin film on a substrate, wherein materials of a thin film are deposited and/or crystallized on a substrate. When a laser ablation method is adopted, the temperature of the glass substrate is set in the range between 200.degree. C. and 700.degree. C., and the pressure of O.sub.2 gas in a film forming chamber is set in the range between 7.times.10.sup.-5 Torr and 1.times.10.sup.-2 Torr. A laser beam irradiates a ZnO target. The target radiates materials of a thin film, such as neutral ions, molecules and ions, and the radiated materials are deposited and/or crystallized on the glass substrate to turn into a ZnO thin film.
