氧分压对光学浮区法生长β-Ga2O3单晶的影响
Effect of Oxygen Partial Pressure on β-Ga2O3 Single Crystals Grown by Optical Floating Zone Method
摘要
Abstract
Gallium oxide(Ga2O3)is a representative fourth-generation semiconductor with unique physical properties and the advantage of readily available large-area single crystals.These characteristics make Ga2O3 highly attractive for deep-ultraviolet photodetection and high-efficiency power electronic applications.Oxygen vacancies are among the most common intrinsic point defects in oxide semiconductors and play a crucial role in determining the material quality and device performance of Ga2O3.Therefore,effective control of oxygen vacancies in Ga2O3 single crystals is of significant practical importance.In this work,β-Ga2O3 single crystals were grown by optical floating zone method,which enables crucible-free growth and high material purity.A precisely controlled Ar/O2 mixed atmosphere was employed to systematically investigate the effect of oxygen partial pressure on oxygen vacancy defect concentration in β-Ga2O3 single crystals.With increasing oxygen content in the growth atmosphere,the optical transmittance of β-Ga2O3 single crystals is markedly enhanced,and the lattice ordering is significantly improved.Meanwhile,the defect-related photoluminescence emission is strongly suppressed.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of the O 1s anion and Ga 3d cation states consistently demonstrate that the oxygen vancancy defect concentration decreases with increasing oxygen partial pressure.These results indicate that oxygen partial pressure is an effective parameter for regulating oxygen vacancy defect concentration in β-Ga2O3 single crystals.This study provides practical guidance for the growth of high-quality oxide semiconductor single crystals.关键词
