Abstract
Following the previous achievement of highly crystalline α-Ga2O3 thin films on c-plane sapphire, the growth of corundum-structured α-(Al x Ga1-x )2O3 was examined aiming at the future application of α-(Al x Ga1-x )2O3/Ga2O3 heterostructures to power devices and other functional devices. The results show the control of x and band gap up to 0.81 and 7.8 eV, respectively, maintaining the dominant corundum structure. The transmission electron microscope observation suggested the formation of the crystallographically good interface of α-(Al x Ga1-x )2O3/Ga2O3 without the severe generation of threading dislocation lines from the interface.Keywords
