The invention provides an oxide thin film in the form of an epitaxial film of the composition: Zr.sub.1-x R.sub.x O.sub.2-.delta. wherein R is a rare earth metal inclusive of Y, x=0 to 0.75, preferably x=0.20 to 0.50, formed on a surface of a single crystal silicon substrate. A rocking curve of the film has a half-value width of up to 1.50.degree.. The film has a ten point mean roughness Rz of up to 0.60 nm across a reference length of 500 nm. An epitaxial film of the composition ZrO.sub.2 is constructed by unidirectionally oriented crystals.
