METAL NITRIDE FILM FOR THERMISTOR, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME, AND THERMISTOR SENSOR OF FILM TYPE

摘要

Provided are a metal nitride film for a thermistor, which has an excellent bending resistance and can be directly deposited on a film or the like without firing, a method for producing the same, and a film type thermistor sensor. The metal nitride film for a thermistor, which consists of a metal nitride represented by the general formula: Ti x Al y N z (where 0.70 ‰¤ y/(x+y) ‰¤ 0.95, 0.4 ‰¤ z ‰¤ 0.5, and x+y+z = 1), wherein the crystal structure thereof is a hexagonal wurtzite-type single phase, and the peak ratio of the diffraction peak intensity of a-axis orientation (100) relative to the diffraction peak intensity of c-axis orientation (002) (i.e., the diffraction peak intensity of a-axis orientation (100) /the diffraction peak intensity of c-axis orientation (002)) is 0.1 or lower in X-ray diffraction.
