Abstract

A sputtering target for a gallium nitride thin film, which has a low oxygen content, a high density and a low resistivity. A gallium nitride powder having powder physical properties of a low oxygen content and a high bulk density is used and hot pressing is conducted at high temperature in high vacuum to prepare a gallium nitride sintered body having a low oxygen content, a high density and a low resistivity.

Claims (24)

1. A gallium nitride-based film having an intensity ratio of (002) plane to (101) plane in 2θ/θ measurement by an X-ray diffraction apparatus, I(002)/I(101), of at least 150 and a minimum oxygen content of 5×10 21 atm/cm 3 or less, wherein a surface roughness Ra of the gallium nitride-based film is 10 nm or less.

2. The gallium nitride-based film according to claim 1 having a half value width of the co measurement peak of (002) plane of 2° or less.

3. The gallium nitride-based film according to claim 1 , having a half value width of the 2θ/θ measurement peak of (002) plane of 0.3° or less.

4. The gallium nitride-based film according to claim 1 , having a hexagonal crystal phase.

5. A laminated substrate, comprising:

a substrate;
