  • Patent number: 10196756
    Abstract: A ?-Ga2O3-based single-crystal substrate includes a ?-Ga2O3-based single crystal, and a principal surface being a plane parallel to a b-axis of the ?-Ga2O3-based single crystal. A maximum value of ?? on an arbitrary straight line on the principal surface that passes through a center of the principal surface is not more than 0.7264. The ?? is a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of values obtained by subtracting ?a from ?s at each of measurement positions, where ?s represents an angle defined by an X-ray incident direction and the principal surface at a peak position of an X-ray rocking curve on the straight line and ?a represents an angle on an approximated straight line obtained by using least-squares method to linearly approximate a curve representing a relationship between the ?s and the measurement positions thereof.
