Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a rutile-type niobium oxynitride having a rutile-type crystal structure and represented by the chemical formula NbON. The present disclosure also provides a semiconductor structure ( 100 ) including: a substrate ( 110 ) having at least one principal surface composed of a rutile-type compound having a rutile-type crystal structure; and a niobium oxynitride (for example, a rutile-type niobium oxynitride film ( 120 )) grown on the one principal surface of the substrate ( 110 ), the niobium oxynitride having a rutile-type crystal structure and being represented by the chemical formula NbON.
