The present invention relates to a method for producing a Sn single crystal thin film that serves as a base for epitaxially growing a highly crystalline thin film on an amorphous silica substrate. More specifically, the present invention relates to a thin film forming method for epitaxially growing a highly crystalline thin film element such as an electronic device, an optical device, an integrated circuit, etc. on an amorphous silica insulating film on silica glass or silicon.

In the silicon semiconductor technology, the miniaturization and high density of elements have been promoted in accordance with the demand for miniaturization of devices and devices. As a result, the area per element structure is in the micron order to sub-micron region, and has already been miniaturized to a limit region that exhibits material performance. Therefore, the three-dimensional structure design of the element is being advanced for further miniaturization.

Furthermore, in order to diversify the functions of the three-dimensional structure element, it is required to integrate non-silicon-based thin film materials. Usually, silicon oxide (silica) is used as an insulating material in a silicon-based element. For three-dimensional integration, a thin film material must be deposited on silica. However, since this silica material is amorphous (silica glass), the deposited thin film material has poor crystallinity, and the thin film material is thin. It was difficult to demonstrate the original characteristics of the material.

On the other hand, in the structure considered as a three-dimensional integrated device, for example, in the case of a large-capacity ferroelectric memory required for realizing an IC card (card computer) having a function similar to that of a personal computer, the silicon transistor cell It is predicted that it is necessary to form a ferroelectric thin film having a size of about 400 nm on a silica insulating film (silica glass). Therefore, in order to produce a highly crystalline ferroelectric film, it is necessary to form a single crystal thin film having a particle size of 400 nm on the silica insulating film.

The amorphous silica substrate used in the production method of the present invention is silica glass or silicon.
This is an amorphous silica insulating film. A carbon-based ultrathin film is formed on the surface of the substrate . The carbon-based ultrathin film refers to a carbon or hydrocarbon ultrathin film. The method for forming the carbon-based ultrathin film is not particularly limited. The carbon-based ultrathin film can be formed by carbon deposition, adsorption of hydrocarbon molecules, coating and drying. The vapor deposition method is most desirable for defining the carbon content, but is not limited thereto. The thickness of the carbon-based ultrathin film needs to be 1E17 / m 2 or more and 1E22 / m 2 or less as the number of carbon atoms. If it is less than 1E17 / m 2 , there is no effect of forming a carbon-based ultrathin film, and S

As the vapor deposition device, a boat type or crucible type vapor deposition device made of Ta or Mo, or k-cell is used.

An Sn metal thin film is formed using a vapor deposition apparatus. At this time, no substrate heating is required.
However, for example, in order to compensate for the lack of polarizability of the ferroelectric formed on the silicon transistor cell, or to compensate for the lack of lithography accuracy in the subsequent process, it is necessary to set the grain size of the Sn single crystal thin film to 400 nm or more. In some cases, substrate heating may be employed, but the temperature is 200 ° C. or lower. When the temperature exceeds 200 ° C., the surface tension of Sn particles exceeds the adhesive force, and the particles have a spherical shape, which is inappropriate as a substrate crystal for epitaxial growth.
