The effects of post-deposition oxygen annealing temperature on the physical, chemical, and optical properties of gallium oxide films were systematically studied. The results showed that annealing temperature significantly influenced the crystalline structure, surface morphology, optical properties, and energy band alignment of the films. The findings are highly significant for the development of high-quality gallium oxide films for applications in ultraviolet photodetectors and other devices.
The effects of post-deposition oxygen annealing temperature on the physical, chemical, and optical prop-erties of gallium oxide (Ga2O3) films were systematically studied in this work. First, Ga2O3 films were deposited on Si (100) substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and then annealed at 500-900 & DEG;C, re-spectively. Several standard surface analysis methods were used to characterize the Ga2O3 films before and after annealing. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns illustrated that the as-deposited amorphous film transi-tioned to beta-phase after annealing at temperatures greater than 600 & DEG;C. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images showed that the grain size and roughness of the films significantly increased when annealed above 700 & DEG;C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) tests presented that the interface microstructure was slightly affected by the annealing process. The effects of the annealing process on optical properties were performed using photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). Moreover, X-ray spectroscopy (XPS) was utilized to extract the oxygen vacancy (VO) concentration, bandgap, and the energy band alignment of Ga2O3. With increasing annealing temperature, it was found that the atomic ratio of O/Ga increased while VO decreased monotonically from 47.4 % to 27.0 %. Density functional theory (DFT) simulation further accounted for energy band shifts resulting from the variation of VO. This study provides a means to achieve high-quality beta-Ga2O3 films, highly significant for applications of beta-Ga2O3-based ultraviolet photodetectors and other relevant devices.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
