    Abstract: PURPOSE: To enable an epitaxial growth of a ferroelectric layer, an oxide superconductor layer and other layers on a substrate which is made of different materials, and make easy formation of various kinds of monolithic devices by forming an epitaxially grown MgO layer on a tetrahedron compound semiconductor substrate. CONSTITUTION: A device has a structure such that a tetrahedron compound semiconductor substrate 12 and an epitaxial mechanism oxide layer 14 are provided, which is so grown on the substrate 12 that its crystal axis is oriented toward that of the substrate 12. For example, a thin epitaxial layer 14 which is made of MgO is formed by evaporation on a GaAs (100) substrate 12, and then a thin epitaxial film 16 which is made of BaTiO3 , a ferroelectric substance, is formed on the thin epitaxial layer 14. For deposition of the epitaxial films 14, 16 by evaporation, a laser pulse ablation method is used, which uses an XeCl excimer laser with Mg and BaTiO3 being used is targets.
