Abstract
An InP semiconductor thin film is formed by a process in which an amorphous GaAs buffer layer having a good surface flatness, and then an amorphous InP buffer layer having a good surface flatness are formed on an Si substrate, and then an InP monocrystalline thin film is grown on the InP buffer layer. GaAS has a lattice constant intermediate between Si used as the substrate and InP, so the lattice mismatch is reduced.
