Composition determination of beta-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 layers coherently grown on (010) beta-Ga2O3 substrates by high-resolution x-ray diffraction

MDR Open Deposited

We demonstrate x-ray diffraction based composition estimation of b-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 coherently grown on (010) b-Ga2O3. The relation between the strain along the [010] direction and the Al composition of the b-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 layer was formulated by using stress-strain relationship in the monoclinic system. This formulation allows us to estimate the Al composition using out-of-plane lattice spacing determined by conventional x-ray omega-2theta measurements. This method was applied to MBE-grown coherent b-(AlxGa1-x)2O3/Ga2O3 heterostructures, and the Al composition in the b-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 are in close agreement with composition determined directly by atom probe tomography.
