1. A dielectric film structure having a substrate and a dielectric film provided on said substrate, wherein
said dielectric film has (111) face orientation with respect to the substrate; and
a value v in the following equation regarding said dielectric film is a real number greater than 2:
v=(C111/C−110)×(W−110/W111)
where C111 is a count number of a peak of a (111) face of said dielectric film in an out-of-plane X ray diffraction measurement; C−110 is a count number of a peak of a (−110 ) face of said dielectric film in an in-plane X ray diffraction measurement; W111 is a half-value width of a peak of the (111) face of said dielectric film in an out-of-plane rocking curve X ray diffraction measurement; and W−110 is a half-value width of a peak of the (−110 ) face of said dielectric film in an in-plane rocking curve X ray diffraction measurement.
