Photoluminescence (PL) mapping was utilized to investigate damage in β-Ga2O3 epilayers induced by 1064 nm laser pulses. The intensity and position of the intrinsic UV band were determined and plotted as a false-color image. Two types of damage were identified: circular damage and damage cracks. Circular damage shows lower UV PL intensity than the surrounding material with color centers in a “halo” around the damaged region. Damage cracks are aligned with the a and c axes and show higher PL intensity than undamaged material. Defects in the as-grown material were revealed by shifts in the UV band energy.
We will report on the following key recent advances in MOVCD growth and device demonstration based on homoepitaxial 010-oriented beta gallium Oxide thin films and heterostructures- (i) expanded MOCVD growth window with high quality films grown at a substrate temperature as low as 600 C, (ii) record ohmic contact specific resistance and regrown ohmic contacts using low temperature epitaxy, (iii) sharp doping profiles leading to demonstration of pure 2DEG using MOCVD-grown aluminum gallium oxide/gallium oxide heterojunctions, (iv) high quality in-situ semiconductor/dielectric interfaces grown using MOCVD, (v) a figure of merit of 355 MW/cm2 with a breakdown voltage of 2.44 kV in a β- Ga2O3 MESFET, and (vi) lateral breakdown voltages as high as 4.5 kV in a gate pad connected field plated MESFET. The low temperature epitaxy and processing approach also enables growth and fabrication of transistors on engineered composite substrates for thermal management.
