TL;DR: In this article, the optimum conditions for obtaining good epitaxial films were investigated by changing the silicon substrate orientation, the film thickness and the substrate temperature during film deposition, and it was found that CaF2 films with excellent film quality were obtained on Si(111), Si(110) and Si(100) substrates at substrate temperatures of 600-800°C, 800°C and 500-600°C respectively.
