An underlying film 2 of a group III nitride is formed on a substrate 1 by vapor phase deposition. The substrate 1 and the underlying film 2 are subjected to heat treatment in the present of hydrogen to remove the underlying film 2 so that the surface of the substrate 1 is roughened. A seed crystal film 4 of a group III nitride single crystal is formed on a surface of a substrate 1A by vapor phase deposition. A group III nitride single crystal 5 is grown on the seed crystal film 4 by flux method.

A silicon-based thin film depositing apparatus, including a plurality of transparent electrodes disposed to face corresponding counter electrodes with a space therebetween. Subsequently, while injecting a raw material gas from raw material gas injection orifices toward the supporting electrodes and also injecting a barrier gas from barrier gas injection orifices in the same direction as the direction in which the raw material gas is injected, the gases are discharged from a gas outlet, and thereby, the pressure in a chamber is controlled to a pressure of more than 1 kPa. Then, a DC pulse voltage is applied to each counter electrode to deposit a silicon-based thin film. A DC pulse voltage is applied to perform discharge. Therefore, even in a state where the distance between the electrodes is increased, plasma can be generated efficiently, and the in-plane distribution of film thickness can be improved.

An optical waveguide device includes a waveguide layer that converts a wavelength of incident light and emits converted light. In the waveguide layer, a ridge waveguide and slab waveguides are provided, the slab waveguides being formed on both sides of the ridge waveguide with recess portions intervening therebetween. The waveguide layer satisfies a multi-mode condition for the incident light, and light propagating through the ridge waveguide is in a single mode.

A planar body with a good crystallinity is grown continuously and stably when a planar body of an oxide single crystal is grown by a micro pulling-down method. A raw material of the oxide single crystal is melted in a crucible 7. A fibrous seed crystal 15 is contacted to a melt 18, and then the melt 18 is pulled down from an opening 13c of the crucible 7 by lowering the seed crystal. A shoulder portion 14A is produced following the seed crystal, and a planar body 14B is produced following the shoulder portion. In this case, differences in lattice constants between each crystal axis of the seed crystal and each corresponding crystal axis of the shoulder portion are controlled at 1% or less, respectively.
