摘要:
A substrate for epitaxial growth includes a silicon-containing substrate, a silicon-germanium film, and a network-shaped structure. The silicon-germanium film is formed lamellarly on the silicon-containing substrate. The network-shaped structure is disposed adjacent to an interface between the silicon-containing substrate and the silicon-germanium film, and is composed of a 90-degree-dislocation dislocation line elongating continuously. The 90-degree-dislocation dislocation line making the network-shaped structure elongates remarkably long without being broken to short lengths interruptedly so that the 90-degree dislocation is disposed cyclically in planes parallel to the interface. Accordingly, the 90-degree dislocation is present uniformly in planes parallel to the interface. Consequently, strains in the crystal lattice of the silicon-germanium film have been uniformly relaxed more securely.

A silicon substrate is prepared, and a titanium intermediate layer is formed on the silicon substrate. Then, a compound element-containing layer containing compound elements to compose an intended silicide film is formed on the titanium intermediate layer, to form a multilayered intermediate structure, which is thermally treated to form the intended silicide film made of silicon elements of the silicon substrate and the compound elements of the compound element-containing layer.

A given metallic oxide film is epitaxially grown on a substrate. Then, the substrate and the metallic oxide film are thermally treated to mix the constituent elements of the substrate with the constituent metallic oxide elements of the metallic oxide film and to form a metallic oxide film of high dielectric constant on the substrate through the mixing of the constituent elements.

A silicon oxide layer is formed at a surface region of a silicon substrate. Then, an amorphous silicon layer 13 is formed preferably in a thickness of 1 nm or below on the silicon substrate via the silicon oxide layer. Then, the amorphous silicon layer 13 is exposed to a silane gas preferably with heating the silicon substrate within a temperature range of 400-800° C. to form a high density and minute silicon nanocrystal.
