“…In previous studies, the kand e-Ga 2 O 3 have mainly been observed in the films epitaxially grown on a-Al 2 O 3 (0 0 1) (c-cut sapphire) substrates, 7,9,20,25,31,41,[45][46][47][48] whereas only in a few cases have the substrate temperatures below 500 1C been sufficient for formation of these phases. 25,48 Moreover, a relatively complex method, that is, epitaxial lateral overgrowth, including the deposition of the TiO 2 seed layer on c-sapphire and a following lithography process to form a pattern that supports the k-Ga 2 O 3 growth, has been developed 53 and applied 54 for improving the quality of k/e-Ga 2 O 3 films. However, even in these cases, substrate temperatures of 540-570 1C have been used for deposition of the films by halide vapour phase epitaxy.…”
