Abstract

High-quality β - Ga2O3 film and β - Ga2O3/ ZnO/ β - Ga2O3 film have been prepared by laser molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE) without annealing and their photoelectric characterization has been investigated. These semiconducting films were deposited on sapphire <002> substrate with 700 for photoelectric and microstucture characterization. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that β - Ga2O3 and ZnO peak intensity, peak position and Full Width at Half-Maximum (FWHM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) illustrated the atomic composition (Ga/O) and concentration (2/1.048) of β - Ga2O3/ ZnO/ β - Ga2O3 film surface. Ultraviolet transmittance spectrum (UV) indicated the different transmittance in the same region. Additionally, the bandgap of β - Ga2O3 film and β - Ga2O3/ ZnO/ β - Ga2O3 film were calculated by Tauc’plot method, the bandgap of β - Ga2O3 film was 5.1ev, but the one of β - Ga2O3/ ZnO/ β - Ga2O3 film was 4.8 ev. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectrum (PL) of the as-synthesized β - Ga2O3 film and β - Ga2O3/ ZnO/ β - Ga2O3 film revealed blue (419 nm) and UV (385 nm) emission, respectively. In addition, electrical properties of the films were investigated by Hall Effect investigations..
