Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a Ga2O3-based single crystal substrate including a Ga2O3-based single crystal which has a high resistance while preventing a lowering of crystal quality and a production method therefor. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the production method includes growing the Ga2O3-based single crystal while adding a Fe to a Ga2O3-based raw material, the Ga2O3-based single crystal (5) including the Fe at a concentration higher than that of a donor impurity mixed in the Ga2O3-based raw material, and cutting out the Ga2O3-based single crystal substrate from the Ga2O3-based single crystal (5).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A Ga 2 O 3 -based single crystal substrate consisting of a Ga 2 O 3 -based single crystal comprising a donor impurity and Fe, wherein a concentration of the Fe is higher than a concentration of the donor impurity to increase a resistance value of the substrate, and wherein the donor impurity is Si, and the Fe concentration in the Ga 2 O 3 -based single crystal is not less than 0.001 mol % and is not greater than 0.05 mol %. 2. The Ga 2 O 3 -based single crystal substrate according to claim 1 , further comprising a principal surface that has a size and a shape large enough to include a perfect circle of not less than 10 mm in diameter. 3. The Ga 2 O 3 -based single crystal substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate resistivity is about 2×10 12 Ωcm. 4. The Ga 2 O 3 -based single crystal substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the Fe concentration is 0.01 to 0.05 mol %.
