The growth of twin-free single-crystal cubic-indium oxide (c-In2O3) layers was investigated by halide vapor phase epitaxy on c-plane sapphire substrates with various off-axis angles. The growth rate of the c-In2O3 layer increased and twin formation was suppressed as the off-axis angle of the substrate was increased. A single-crystal c-In2O3(111) layer grown on a sapphire substrate with a 5° off-axis angle showed a room temperature carrier density and mobility of 1.4 × 1016 cm−3 and 232 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively. Temperature-dependent Hall measurements of the layer revealed that the mobility is dominated by optical phonon scattering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
