With respect to the manufacturing method of the epitaxy oxide thin film, which epitaxially grows an orientation film with an oxide capable of being oriented to (001), (110), and (111) on a single crystal Si substrate, because time required for raising a temperature of the orientation film up to an annealing temperature at room temperature is extremely minimized, thermal stress arising from the large difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the substrate and the orientation film is controlled, so crystalline quality of the epitaxy oxide thin film can be enhanced. Moreover, various epitaxial functional oxides are integrated into the thin film of enhanced crystalline quality so that a novel electronic device can be embodied.
