The thermal stability of alpha-Ga2O3 films grown on c-plane sapphire substrates was investigated. A strong correlation was found between thermal stability and film thickness: the more the alpha-Ga2O3 films maintained the alpha-phase upon heating at higher annealing temperature, the thinner they were. Transmission electron microscopy observations revealed that the phase transition of the alpha-Ga2O3 film to the thermodynamically most stable beta-phase had the orientation relationship of beta-Ga2O3 [(2) over bar 01] || sapphire [0001]. High-temperature x-ray diffraction measurement for the alpha-Ga2O3 film showed the relationship of beta-Ga2O3[(4) over bar 01]/[301] || sapphire [0001] as well. The dependence of the stability boundary on the film thickness originates from a thermal stress caused by a larger thermal expansion coefficient of alpha-Ga2O3 than that of sapphire. Relaxation of residual stress by introducing a selective area growth technique enhanced the thermal stability of alpha-Ga2O3 so that alpha-Ga2O3 maintained the corundum structure upon heating at 800 degrees C, although a small diffraction peak from beta-Ga2O3 was detected by x-ray diffraction measurement. The enhanced thermal stability of alpha-Ga2O3 widens device process windows as well as growth windows.
