  • Publication number: 20020013053
    Abstract: A method of producing a microwave device using a magnetic garnet single crystal film involves cutting a garnet signal crystal substrate into chips. Thereafter, a magnetic garnet signal crystal film is grown on the surface of each of the garnet single crystal substrate chips by means of the liquid crystal epitaxial growth method. This method is advantageous in that no breakage of the single crystal substrate occurs during the growth of the magnetic garnet single crystal film, chipping does not occurs and a small variation in thickness of the film among substrates is achieved.
