We carried out quantitative mapping of conductivity σ for the SrTiO3–LaAlO3–LaTiO3 (STO–LAO–LTO) ternary composition-spread thin film by using the scanning microwave microscope (SµM). The σ was evaluated from the shifts in Q-value with reference to the standard Ti1-xNbxO2 composition-spread thin film. Results for the ternary system showed excellent agreement with the literature values of σ in the binary STO–LAO and STO–LTO systems, confirming the accuracy of the present analysis method. An electric phase diagram was proposed for the ternary system based on the quantitative film-conductivity data. Metallic conduction in the ternary system was observed in a wide area close to the STO–LTO side, which gave way to the hopping conduction if LAO component exceeded ca. 35%.
