Qingyi Zhang et al.

Summary: By lattice and band engineering, Zhang et al. constructed a unipolar barrier avalanche photodiode with suppressed dark current and reinforced reverse breakdown. Ga2O3-based solar blind avalanche photodetectors exhibit low voltage operation, optical filter-free and monolithic integration of photodetector arrays, and therefore they are promising to be an alternative to the bulky and fragile photomultiplier tubes for weak signal detection in deep-ultraviolet region. These findings provide insights into precise manipulation of band alignment in avalanche photodetectors, and also offer exciting opportunities for further developing high-performance Ga2O3-based electronics and optoelectronics.

Bandgap Engineering and Oxygen Vacancy Defect Electroactivity Inhibition in Highly Crystalline N-Alloyed Ga2O3 Films through Plasma-Enhanced Technology

Huaile He et al.

Summary: Previous research has shown that hybridization of N 2p and O 2p orbitals effectively reduces the electrical activity of oxygen vacancies in oxide semiconductors. However, achieving N-alloyed Ga2O3 films, known as GaON, is challenging due to nitrogen's limited solubility in the material. This study explores a new method using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with high-energy nitrogen plasma to enhance nitrogen solubility. By adjusting the N-2 and O-2 carrier gas ratio, the thin film's bandgap can be tuned, resulting in a decrease in oxygen vacancy density and improved performance of GaON-based photodetectors.
