Structural characters and band offset of Ga2O3-Sc2O3 alloys

Naxin Zhu et al.

Summary: The structural and electronic properties of (ScxGa1-x)(2)O-3 alloys were investigated. It was found that (ScxGa1-x)(2)O-3 alloys have more negative formation enthalpies compared to (AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 alloys, and the increments in positive formation enthalpies of monoclinic (ScxGa1-x)(2)O-3 alloys are different from (AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 alloys. Compressive strain is observed when (ScxGa1-x)(2)O-3 alloys are grown on Ga2O3 substrate. The bandgaps range from 4.78 to 5.44 eV for monoclinic (ScxGa1-x)(2)O-3, and from 5.17 to 6.10 eV for hexagonal (ScxGa1-x)(2)O-3. Ga2O3/(ScxGa1-x)(2)O-3 heterojunctions maintain type-II band alignments, and the conduction and valence band offsets can be significantly and negligibly enlarged by increasing Sc concentration, respectively. (ScxGa1-x)(2)O-3 alloys can serve as an electron blocking layer for Ga2O3 devices, thus alleviating parasitic conduction issues in field effect transistors.

Growth of bulk β-Ga2O3 single crystals by the Czochralski method

Zbigniew Galazka

Summary: This Tutorial provides a detailed description of the critical aspects of bulk beta-Ga2O3 single crystal growth using the Czochralski method. It covers the thermodynamics of Ga2O3, comprehensive solutions for crystal size scale-up, the impact of free carrier absorption on growth stability, and important factors such as crystal growth direction and intentional doping. The resulting crystals' structural quality and basic physical properties are also discussed.

Growth and characterization of metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy-grown beta-(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3/beta-Ga2O3 heterostructure channels

Praneeth Ranga et al.

Summary: This study reports on the growth and characterization of metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy-grown beta-(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3/beta-Ga2O3 modulation-doped heterostructures. An electron channel is achieved in the heterostructure by utilizing a delta-doped beta-(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 barrier, with characteristics studied using various measurement methods. The fabricated transistor demonstrates high peak current and on-off ratio, while the electron channel in beta-(AlxGa1-x)(2)O-3 displays promising charge density and mobility at room temperature.

Zhiwei Li et al.

Summary: Al-doped beta-Ga2O3 single crystals with high resistivity were obtained through band gap engineering in this study, resulting in the preparation of a high-performance X-ray detector with high sensitivity and fast response speed. The detector demonstrated significantly higher performance compared to commercial amorphous Se X-ray detectors, with a sensitivity 42 times higher and both rise time and decay time less than 0.05 s. The high performance was attributed to the high resistivity and quality of the crystal.
