Elevated temperature spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis of the dielectric function, exciton, band-to-band transition, and high-frequency dielectric constant properties for single-crystal ZnGa2O4

Matthew Hilfiker et al.

Summary: In this study, the elevated temperature dielectric function properties of melt grown single crystal ZnGa2O4 were investigated using a spectroscopic ellipsometry approach. The results show that the lowest energy critical point associated with the direct bandgap transition in ZnGa2O4 exhibits a red-shift and the excitonic amplitude decreases while the exciton broadening increases with increasing temperature.

Thermal stability of α-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 films grown on c-plane sapphire substrates with an Al composition up to 90%

Riena Jinno et al.

Summary: The thermal stability of alpha-(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 films grown on c-plane sapphire substrates was explored through annealing at different temperatures. It was found that lower Al composition led to phase transformation to the most stable phase for Ga2O3, while higher Al composition improved thermal stability. Films with x = 0.45 maintained the corundum structure after annealing at 950 degrees C, while layers with Al contents above 0.6 remained stable and did not undergo phase transformation at 1100 degrees C.

Crystal orientation dictated epitaxy of ultrawide-bandgap 5.4-to 8.6-eV alpha-(AlGa)(2)O-3 on m-plane sapphire

Riena Jinno et al.

Summary: Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors are being developed through molecular beam epitaxy to grow single-crystalline layers of alpha-(AlGa)(2)O(3) alloys. The use of m-plane sapphire crystal is crucial in catalyzing the phase transition of epitaxial layers, leading to wider bandgap materials with structural purity. This advancement successfully stabilizes the largest bandgap materials family to date.

Al Composition Dependence of Band Offsets for SiO2 on α-(AlxGa1-x)2O3

Xinyi Xia et al.

Summary: Valence band offsets for SiO2 deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition on alpha-(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 alloys with x ranging from 0.26 to 0.74 were measured by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. The bandgaps for the alloys ranged from 5.8 eV to 7 eV, with corresponding valence band offsets ranging from -1.2 eV to 0.4 eV. Despite desired nested band alignments for x > 0.5, challenges remain in finding appropriate dielectrics for this ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor system, particularly with negative conduction band offsets observed for lower Al contents.

Matthew Hilfiker et al.

Summary: In this study, an anisotropic dielectric constant investigation of corundum alpha-(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 thin films was conducted using Mueller matrix spectroscopic ellipsometry in below bandgap spectral regions. The high-frequency dielectric constants and Cauchy dispersion model were applied to determine the optical properties, showing negative optical birefringence and decreased refractive index upon Al incorporation. Bowing parameters of the dielectric constants were found to be small, indicating subtle changes with composition.
