Elimination of threading dislocations in α-Ga2O3 by double layered epitaxial lateral overgrowth

MDR Open Deposited

We demonstrated the double layered epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of α-Ga2O3 by halide vapor phase epitaxy. Patterned masks were prepared on an ELO α-Ga2O3, and α-Ga2O3 islands were regrown on the mask windows. The α-Ga2O3 islands of second ELO grew selectively and coalesced step-by-step due to the nested-structure mask pattern. No dislocation was found by TEM not only above the masks but also above the windows of second ELO pattern, and the dislocation density was estimated to be less than 5 × 10^6 cm-2. We obtained continuous α-Ga2O3 films with a low density of dislocations in the entire surface.
