Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is a promising ultra-wide band gap semiconductor with extremely high (predicted) breakdown field for high performance power electronics.
α-Ga2O3 is isostructural to α-Al2O3, and allows alloying over the entire composition range from Ga2O3 (x=0) and Al2O3 (x=1) in α-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 [1]. For β-(AlxGa1-x)2O3, range with which Al can be alloyed is 0 <x < 0.61, which leads to a bandgap range of 4.6-5.9 eV [2].
In this contribution, we demonstrate the growth of high quality α-(Al,Ga)2O3 on Al2O3 (10-10) and Al2O3 (11-20) and β-(Al,Ga)2O3 on Al2O3 (0001) by suboxide molecular beam epitaxy (S-MBE). We investigated the influence of Al flux and growth parameter space of (Al,Ga)2O3 alloys on differently oriented Al2O3 substrates.
