2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a substrate cut from a bulk crystal is used as a crystal substrate for forming a semiconductor device or a functional thin film. However, when a bulk single crystal is used as a starting material, the bulk single crystal material is expensive. However, when such a material is sliced and processed into a material having a required crystal orientation, the yield of the material is low, and there is a problem that it is not economical.
In addition, the influence of crystal distortion generated during slicing could not be ignored.

On the other hand, by directly forming a thin film having the required crystal orientation on a substrate such as glass, a crystal substrate having an arbitrary crystal orientation that is economical and is not restricted by the form of the material crystal is obtained. It has been proposed that a tin oxide film (TO) is formed on a glass substrate as such a substrate.
There is a substrate on which is formed. However, since the crystallinity of the tin oxide film formed on the glass substrate is strongly affected by the surface properties of the substrate, it is difficult to obtain a crystal orientation that can replace the single crystal as described above. Met. As the material of the substrate, a transparent amorphous material such as glass or silicon oxide is used for device and structural advantages, but since the structure of these surfaces is amorphous,
Due to the influence, even if a tin oxide film is formed by a sputtering method or the like, the crystal growth of the tin oxide film is inhibited, and a film having a suitable crystal plane orientation characteristic cannot be obtained.

11 Ωcm, which is a drawback in that the resistance is too high for applications requiring conductivity. Therefore, tin oxide film (TO)
It is known to add antimony (Sb) or fluorine (F) in order to lower the electrical resistance of the film. However, tin oxide films (ATO, FT) containing these added elements are known.
O) is not preferable in view of the characteristics of the device because the electrical resistance is small, but the crystal orientation is also reduced. As described above, it is difficult to realize both characteristics of low resistance and high crystal orientation in the tin oxide film formed on the substrate.

However, in order to realize both low resistance and high crystal orientation characteristics in a tin oxide film formed on a substrate, the present inventor has proposed a method of thermally decomposing dibutyltin diacetate on a glass substrate. Forming a selectively oriented tin oxide film (TO) on the (200) plane, containing on the tin oxide film an element having one more outermost shell electron than tin or oxygen such as antimony or fluorine, and A tentative solution was found by using tin oxide in which a selectively oriented tin oxide film (TO) was formed on the (200) plane.
