△ [12p-D419-12] Evaluation of Dislocations in Epitaxial Lateral Overgrown α-Ga2O3 by KOH Etching
Keywords:Ga2O3, dislocation, etching
Dislocations in epitaxial lateral grown α-Ga2O3 islands were evaluated by KOH etching. It was revealed that the etch-pit method was applicable to α-Ga2O3 crystal, and it is implied that dislocations bent in direction of facets and annihilated. Moreover, there was in-plane anisotropy in the direction of the bent dislocations. This results implied that in-plane anisotropy was an important factor in controlling dislocations in epitaxial lateral overgrowth of α-Ga2O3.
