Mn3GaN thin films were grown on MgO and SrTiO3 substrates by ion beam sputtering, and their structural and electric properties have been investigated. Control of growth temperature is important to obtain single phase Mn3GaN thin films. Resistivity of Mn3GaN thin film increase with increasing temperature and reach a maximum at 286 K-297 K. The maximum resistivity is attributed to the magnetic transition from antiferromagnetism to paramagnetism. On SrTiO3 substrates which have 0.2% lattice mismatch to Mn3GaN, single crystal Mn3GaN thin films were grown.
