Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor device includes a single crystal III-V compound semiconductor layer disposed on a silicon on sapphire substrate comprising a silicon layer disposed on a sapphire substrate, the silicon on sapphire substrate including a silicon (001) oriented crystalline film grown on the (1102) R face of the sapphire substrate tilted 0.1 to 10 degrees toward the <110> direction or <110> direction of the silicon film away from the <0001> sapphire C axis.
