Low temperature growth of Ga2O3 films on sapphire substrates by plasma assisted pulsed laser deposition

Monoclinic β-Ga2O3 thin films with (-201) orientation have been fabricated at substrate temperature as low as 200 °C by using plasma assisted pulsed laser deposition. The film showed high transmittance of over 80% with clear fringes in the wavelength range from 300 to 1000 nm. Structural characteriz...
