Under the above conditions, first, using MgO (100) as a substrate, a silver thin film having a thickness of 1500 A was prepared at a substrate temperature of −50 ° C. to 600 ° C., and X-ray diffraction and reflection high-speed electron diffraction (RHEE)
By D), the crystallinity of each film was examined. Substrate temperature 1

It is seen from. Considering the result of X-ray diffraction in which a sharp Ag (200) peak was observed, it can be seen that a (100) single crystal thin film of silver was formed. From the width between streaks as seen from <110>, the lattice spacing of silver (110) is 2.88A,
Based on the width between the streaks from <100>, the lattice spacing of silver (100) is 4.08A. This film was found to have good flatness because the pattern of FIG. 6 was composed of streaks and the surface was a mirror surface. A mirror-flat silver (100) single crystal thin film with good flatness was obtained only at substrate temperatures between 50 ° C and 250 ° C. On the other hand, when the substrate temperature was lower than 50 ° C., the silver thin film was polycrystalline. The sample prepared at a temperature higher than 250 ° C. was a (100) single crystal thin film, but the sample surface was clouded and the surface flatness was poor. Similar results were obtained also when a hydrofluoric acid cleaned Si (100) substrate was used. If a silver thin film is formed on a Si (100) substrate without performing hydrofluoric acid cleaning, a part of the surface may become cloudy and the flatness may deteriorate.
