By combining temperature-dependent resistivity and Hall effect measurements, we investigate donor state energy in Si-doped b{eta}-Ga2O3 films grown using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). High magnetic field Hall effect measurements (H = +/-90 kOe) showed non-linear Hall resistance for T < 150 K revealing two-band conduction. Further analyses revealed carrier freeze-out characteristics in both bands yielding donor state energies of ~ 33.7 and ~ 45.6 meV. The former is consistent with the donor energy of Si in b{eta}-Ga2O3 whereas the latter suggests a residual donor state, likely associated with a DX center. This study provides a critical insight into the impurity band conduction and the defect energy states in b{eta}-Ga2O3 using high-field magnetotransport measurements.

Gallium oxide epitaxial layers grown on native substrates and basal plane sapphire were characherized by X-ray phtotelectron and optical reflectance spectroscopies. The XPS electronic structure mapping was coupled to Density functional theory calculations.
We report on the growth and characterization of Ge-doped b{eta}-Ga2O3 thin films using a solid germanium source. b{eta}-Ga2O3 thin films were grown using a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) reactor with either an oxygen or gallium delive ry tube. Films were grown on 6 degree offcut sapphire and (010) b{eta}-Ga2O3 substrates with growth rates between 0.5 - 22 {mu}m/hr. By controlling the germanium vapor pressure, a wide range of Hall carrier concentrations between 10^17 - 10^19 cm-3 were achieved. Low-temperature Hall data revealed a difference in donor incorporation depending on the reactor configuration. At low growth rates, germanium occupied a single donor energy level between 8 - 10 meV. At higher growth rates, germanium doping predominantly results in a deeper donor energy level at 85 meV. This work shows the effect of reactor design and growth regime on the kinetics of impurity incorporation. Studying donor incorporation in b{eta}-Ga2O3 is important for the design of high-power electronic devices.
We report on low-temperature MOVPE growth of silicon delta-doped b{eta}-Ga2O3 films with low FWHM. The as-grown films are characterized using Secondary-ion mass spectroscopy, Capacitance-Voltage and Hall techniques. SIMS measurements show that surfac e segregation is the chief cause of large FWHM in MOVPE-grown films. The surface segregation coefficient (R) is observed to reduce with reduction in the growth temperature. Films grown at 600 {deg}C show an electron concentration of 9.7 x 1012 cm-2 and a FWHM of 3.2 nm. High resolution scanning/transmission electron microscopy of the epitaxial film did not reveal any significant observable degradation in crystal quality of the delta sheet and surrounding regions. Hall measurements of delta-doped film on Fe-doped substrate showed a sheet charge density of 6.1 x 1012 cm-2 and carrier mobility of 83 cm2/V. s. Realization of sharp delta doping profiles in MOVPE-grown b{eta}-Ga2O3 is promising for high performance device applications.
High-quality dielectric-semiconductor interfaces are critical for reliable high-performance transistors. We report the in-situ metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of Al$_2$O$_3$ on $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ as a potentially better alternative to the most commonly used atomic layer deposition (ALD). The growth of Al$_2$O$_3$ is performed in the same reactor as Ga$_2$O$_3$ using trimethylaluminum and O$_2$ as precursors without breaking the vacuum at a growth temperature of 600 $^0$C. The fast and slow near interface traps at the Al$_2$O$_3$/ $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ interface are identified and quantified using stressed capacitance-voltage (CV) measurements on metal oxide semiconductor capacitor (MOSCAP) structures. The density of shallow and deep level initially filled traps (D$_{it}$) are measured using ultra-violet (UV) assisted CV technique. The average D$_{it}$ for the MOSCAP is determined to be 7.8 $times$ 10$^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$eV$^{-1}$. The conduction band offset of the Al$_2$O$_3$/ Ga$_2$O$_3$ interface is also determined from CV measurements and found out to be 1.7 eV which is in close agreement with the existing literature reports of ALD Al$_2$O$_3$/ Ga$_2$O$_3$ interface. The current-voltage characteristics are also analyzed and the average breakdown field is extracted to be approximately 5.8 MV/cm. This in-situ Al$_2$O$_3$ dielectric on $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ with improved dielectric properties can enable Ga$_2$O$_3$-based high performance devices.
The effects of hydrogen incorporation into beta-Ga2O3 thin films have been investigated by chemical, electrical and optical characterization techniques. Hydrogen incorporation was achieved by remote plasma doping without any structural alterations of the film; however, X-ray photoemission reveals major changes in the oxygen chemical environment. Depth-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) reveals that the near-surface region of the H-doped Ga2O3 film exhibits a distinct red luminescence (RL) band at 1.9 eV. The emergence of the H-related RL band is accompanied by an enhancement in the electrical conductivity of the film by an order of magnitude. Temperature-resolved CL points to the formation of abundant H-related donors with a binding energy of 28 +/- 4 meV. The RL emission is attributed to shallow donor-deep acceptor pair recombination, where the acceptor is a VGa-H complex and the shallow donor is interstitial H. The binding energy of the VGa-H complex, based on our experimental considerations, is consistent with the computational results by Varley et al [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, 23, 334212, 2011].
