  • Patent number: 12247297
    Abstract: The present invention provides: a multilayer film structure which has high crystallinity and planarity; and a method for producing this multilayer film structure. This multilayer film structure is provided with: an Si (111) substrate; a first thin film that is arranged on the Si (111) substrate, while being formed of a nitride material and/or aluminum; and a second thin film that is arranged on the first thin film, while being formed of a nitride material. An amorphous layer having a thickness of 0 nm or more but less than 1.0 nm are present on the Si (111) substrate; and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a rocking curve of the (0002) plane at the surface of this multilayer film structure is 1.50° or less.

  • Publication number: 20240401184
    Abstract: A laminate includes a structure in which a Si (111) substrate, an oxygen-containing aluminum nitride film, and a gallium nitride film are laminated. The laminate is obtained by a production method for a laminate that is characterized by having a structure in which a Si (111) substrate, an oxygen-containing aluminum nitride film, and a gallium nitride film are laminated, the production method having: an AlN film-formation step in which an aluminum nitride film is formed on the Si (111) substrate and an Si substrate including an aluminum nitride film is obtained; an oxidation step in which the Si substrate including the aluminum nitride film is treated in an oxidizing atmosphere and a Si substrate including an oxygen-containing aluminum nitride film is obtained; and a GaN film-formation step in which a gallium nitride film is formed on the Si substrate including the oxygen-containing aluminum nitride film.
