Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A stacked body may include a support, a buffer layer, and an electrode layer, in this order, wherein the buffer layer may include one or more metals selected from the group consisting of Ga, Al, In, and Zn, and oxygen, the electrode layer comprises an oxide of magnesium and an oxide of zinc, and the electrode layer has a half width of a diffraction peak observed at 2θ=34.8±0.5 deg in X-ray diffraction measurement of 0.43 deg or smaller.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A stacked body, comprising, in this order, a support; a buffer layer; and an electrode layer wherein the buffer layer comprises (i) oxygen and (ii) Ga, Al, In, and/or Zn, wherein the electrode layer comprises an oxide of magnesium and an oxide of zinc, and wherein the electrode layer has a half width of a diffraction peak observed at 2θ=34.8±0.5 deg in X-ray diffraction measurement of 0.43 deg or smaller. 2 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein a stacked unit comprising the electrode layer and the buffer layer has a conductivity of 0.5 S/cm or larger. 3 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein a molar ratio of Mg to the sum of Mg and Zn [Mg/(Mg+Zn)] in the electrode layer is 0.25 or more 0.75 or less. 4 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein the stacked unit comprising the electrode layer and the buffer layer has a light transmittance at a wavelength of 260 nm of 4% or more. 5 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein the electrode layer has a degree of c-axis orientation of 40% or more. 6 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein the buffer layer comprises an oxide of zinc. 7 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein the buffer layer comprises an oxide of gallium and an oxide of zinc. 8 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein a molar ratio of Ga to a sum of Ga and Zn [Ga/(Ga+Zn)] in the buffer layer is 0.000 or more and 0.2 or less. 9 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein the support comprises an ultraviolet transmitting member. 10 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein the support comprises a semiconductor layer. 11 . The stack body of claim 10 , wherein the semiconductor layer comprises a Group III-V nitride semiconductor. 12 . The stacked body of claim 10 , wherein the semiconductor layer comprises AlN, GaN, InN, or a mixed crystal thereof. 13 . A semiconductor device, comprising: the stacked body of claim 1 . 14 . The stacked body of claim 1 , wherein a metal of the buffer layer is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ga, Al, In, and Zn.
