Description:

(abstract)

Wurtzite-type aluminum scandium nitride (WZ-(Al1−xScx)N) thin films were grown on Nb 0.5wt% doped SrTiO3(111) (Nb:STO) single crystal substrates by radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering method with Al and Sc targets. It was confirmed that WZ-(Al1−xScx)N thin films was epitaxially grown on Nb:STO substrates for 00.3 were single-crystal like single domain films. Although rotation domains were formed. Although lattice parameters and domain structure changed with x in complicated manner, the evaluated unit-cell volume was in good accordance with Vegard's law. Those results indicated that unit-cell volume was simply governed by chemical composition, x.
