This study reports on the growth and characterization of three different phases -α, β, and ε -of Ga 2 O 3 epitaxial layers grown on (001) sapphire substrates at 650 °C. The stable β-phase was observed for films grown using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition with trimethygallium and oxygen as source gases. In contrast, the αand/or ε-phase(s) were observed for films grown by halide vapor phase epitaxy with gallium chloride and oxygen as source gases. Orientation relationships from x-ray diffraction measurements are reported, along with transmission electron microscopy images of the interfacial microstructure and optical transmittance measurements of the different phases.
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.
