Claim:
1. A metal nitride material for a thermistor, consisting of a metal nitride represented by the general formula: (M 1−v A v ) x Al y (N 1−w O w ) z (where “M” represents at least one element selected from Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co, “A” represents at least one element selected from Mn, Cu, Ni, Fe, and Co, which is different from the selected “M”, 0.0<v<1.0, 0.70≦y/(x+y)≦0.98, 0.45≦z≦0.55, 0<w≦0.35, and x+y+z=1), wherein the crystal structure thereof is a hexagonal wurtzite-type single phase.
