This study investigates the crystalline quality of polycrystalline beta-Ga2O3 films through rapid thermal annealing. The results show that by annealing at 900°C under a N2 gas atmosphere for 45 minutes, optimized polycrystalline beta-Ga2O3 films with improved crystal structure can be obtained.
Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is a semiconductor with a wide bandgap of ~5.0 eV and large breakdown voltages (> 8 MV & BULL;cm(-1)). Among the crystal phases of Ga2O3, the monoclinic beta-Ga2O3 is well known to be suitable for many device applications because of its chemical and thermal stability. The crystalline quality of polycrystalline beta-Ga2O3 films on c-plane sapphire substrates was studied by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) following magnetron sputtering deposition at room temperature. Polycrystalline beta-Ga2O3 films are relatively simple to prepare; however, their crystalline quality needs enhancement. The beta-phase was achieved at 900 & DEG;C with a crystallite size and d-spacing of 26.02 and 0.2350 nm, respectively, when a mixture of epsilon- and beta-phases was observed at temperatures up to 800 & DEG;C. The strain was released in the annealed Ga2O3 films at 900 & DEG;C; however, the clear and uniform orientation was not perfect because of the increased oxygen vacancy in the film at that temperature. The improved polycrystalline beta-Ga2O3 films with dominant (-402)-oriented crystals were obtained at 900 & DEG;C for 45 min under a N-2 gas atmosphere.
