Abstract
An electric solid state device comprises a substrate, an amorphous thin film formed on the substrate, and a conductive thin film formed on the amorphous thin film. In this device, an interatomic distance calculated from a peak position of a halo pattern appearing in diffraction measurement of the material of the amorphous thin film is substantially equal to an interplanar space between those two adjacent specific crystal planes of the material of the conductive thin film, which are defined at least by respective atomic strings arranged in a predetermined direction in the respective planes and separated from each other by the smallest interatomic distance possible.
