Results of band structure measurements on beta-Ga2O3 single crystals were in good agreement with theoretical calculations [1], indicating a good theoretical understanding of this material. For application purposes in semiconductor technologies both Schottky and Ohmic metal-semiconductor contacts are required. ARPES and I/U measurements performed on n-doped Au-beta-Ga2O3(001) contacts confirmed Schottky-like behavior with a barrier height of 1.01 eV [2]. Motivated by the lower work function of silver we performed an ARPES study of Ag-beta-Ga2O3(001). The results point to a distinctly lower Schottky barrier, but the contact was not yet Ohmic. Additionally the work function depending on the layer thickness of Ag was studied.
