摘要
N-incorporated Ga2O3 films were successfully prepared on sapphire substrates in Ar-N-2 gas mixtures by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The influence of N-2 gas flux on microstructure, surface morphology and optical properties of N-incorporated Ga2O3 films was analyzed in detail. The films have better crystalline quality after nitrogen incorporating properly, while keeping their original beta-Ga2O3 crystalline structure. The surface morphology of the N-incorporated Ga2O3 films was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The photoluminescence spectra consisted of ultraviolet emission peak and green emission band were also observed and discussed. The optical transmittance of the as-deposited N-incorporated Ga2O3 films exceeds 80% in the visible range. The optical band gap decreases with increasing the N-2 gas flux, resulting from the formation of Ga-N bonds. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
