Homoepitaxial β-Ga2O3 transparent conducting oxide with conductivity σ = 2323 S cm−1
Conductive homoepitaxial Si-doped β-Ga2O3 films were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition with an as-deposited 2323 S cm−1 conductivity (resistivity = 4.3 × 10−4 Ω-cm, carrier concentration = 2.24 × 1020 cm−3, mobility = 64.5 cm2 V−1 s−1, and electrical activation efficiency = 77%). High quality homoepitaxial films deposited on commercial (010) Fe-compensated β-Ga2O substrates were determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The β-Ga2O3 films have ∼70% transparency from 3.7 eV (335 nm) to 0.56 eV (2214 nm). The combination of high conductivity and transparency offers promise for numerous ultrawide bandgap electronics and optoelectronic applications
