Abstract

A laminated structure comprises a first layer comprising a crystal with six-fold symmetry, and a second layer comprising a metal oxynitride crystal formed on the first layer The second layer comprises at least one element selected from the group consisting of In, Ga, Si, Ge and Al, N, O and Zn, as main elements, and has in-plane orientation.

Claims (15)

1. A substrate comprising:

a sapphire substrate;

a first layer comprising a wurtzite-type crystal selected from the group consisting of GaN and ZnO, formed on said sapphire substrate; and

a second layer comprising a metal oxynitride crystal formed on said first layer,

wherein said second layer comprises N, O, Zn and at least one element selected from the group consisting of In, Ga, Si, Ge and Al, as main elements, each of which is at least 5 atomic % with respect to the total number of atoms in said second layer, and

wherein said second layer has in-plane orientation.

2. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein said second layer is a crystal of wurtzite type.

3. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein an a-axis lattice constant of said second layer is within the range of 0.320 nm to 0.358 nm.

4. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein an FWHM of an X-ray rocking curve of a (002) plane of said second layer is 1 degree or less.

5. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein said second layer comprises Zn (x) In (1-x) O (y) N (1-y) wherein 0.1≦x≦0.9 and 0.1≦y≦0.9.

6. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein said second layer comprises Zn (x) Ga (1-x) O (y) N (1-y) wherein 0.1≦x≦0.9 and 0.1≦y≦0.9.

7. The substrate for growing a wurtzite-type crystal according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer comprises a Al 2 O 3 crystal, and wherein the second layer comprises Zn (x) In (1-x) O (y) N (1-y) wherein 0.1≦x≦0.9 and 0.1≦y≦0.9.

8. The substrate for growing a wurtzite-type crystal according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer comprises a Al 2 O 3 crystal, and wherein the second layer comprises Zn (x) Ga (1-x) O (y) N (1-y) wherein 0.1≦x≦0.9 and 0.1≦y≦0.9.

9. A semiconductor device using the substrate according to claim 1 as a substrate.

10. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is for growing a wurtzite-type crystal.
