This study successfully achieved n-type doping in ε-Ga2O3 thin films through a post-deposition treatment, using a SnO2 film as the dopant. Good electrical performance was obtained at 600 degrees Celsius, demonstrating an effective doping method.
The good control of the n-type doping is a key issue for the fabrication of efficient devices based on epsilon-Ga2O3 epilayers. In this work we studied the possibility of doping the epsilon-Ga2O3 thin films, epitaxially grown on c-oriented sapphire by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, by means of a post-deposition treatment. For the first time, the n-type doping was achieved by depositing a tin-rich SnO2 film on top of the epsilon-Ga2O3 layer and keeping this bi-layer system for 4 h at a temperature of 600 degrees C in an evacuated furnace. The diffusion of Sn atoms into the epsilon-Ga2O3 film is evidenced by time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry depth profiles. Room-temperature resistivity of the order of 1 Omega.cm is obtained and the electrical characterization revealed a conduction mechanism based on variable range hopping, according to the Mott's model.
