What is it about?

Many researchers studied the activation energies of unintentionally doped β-Ga2O3 crystals with various methods [11-13]. However, there is a lack of systematic research on the activation energy and deep defect of Nb-doped β-Ga2O3 single crystals. This paper reports the activation energies of shallow and deep traps of Nb-doped β-Ga2O3, revealed by temperature-dependent Hall effect, Deep-Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS), and photoluminescence spectra.

Why is it important?

β-Ga2O3 single crystals have been a remarkable success in the technology universe, such as manufacturing deep ultraviolet detectors and metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors with good performance [5-7]. This noteworthy success lies in its uniqueness in the combination of materials properties such as a wide bandgap of 4.7–4.9 eV for a large electrical breakdown field, low cost, high quality, and volume production of large single-crystal β-Ga2O3 substrates can be achieved.
