[16p-E102-4] Evaluation of line shaped voids in β-Ga2O3 grown by the vertical Bridgman method
Keywords:gallium oxide, oxide, semiconductor
Line shaped voids existing in β-Ga2O3 grown by the EFG method have been reported to be one of the origins for leakage current of SBD. On the other hand, we have grown β-Ga2O3 single crystals by the vertical Bridgman method and observed the surface of the crystals, which revealed the existence of defects extending in the [010] direction. We observed multiple linear voids extending in the [010] direction during etching with phosphoric acid, but the etch pits were smaller than those observed in the EFG method at the same etching time, suggesting that the size of linear shaped voids in the VB method is smaller than EFG method.
