Description:

(abstract)

We demonstrated the epitaxial lateral overgrowth of α-Ga2O3 by halide vapor phase epitaxy using a stripe mask with an ultra-narrow window width of 50-750 nm fabricated by electron-beam lithography. α-Ga2O3 stripes formed only on the windows without unintentional nucleation on the mask even on the mask with the narrowest window. Etch pit observation and cross-sectional TEM revealed that the propagation of dislocation into regrown α-Ga2O3 was dramatically reduced by narrowing the window. The overall dislocation density in the coalesced film including window region and coalesced boundaries was as low as 4x107 cm-2 in the case of the 50-nm-window mask.
