Abstract

Epitaxial layers of a new wide-band semiconductor (α-Ga2O3 doped with tin) have been grown by chloride epitaxy on smooth and patterned substrates, which are widely used to increase the emission yield in high-efficiency LED structures based on InGaN, and studied. The properties of the obtained gallium-oxide layers have been compared. Both types of samples had n-type conductivity, but the frequency and voltage dependences of their capacitance differed. Differences in the dislocation structure of epitaxial α-Ga2O3 layers on smooth and patterned substrates have been identified by X-ray diffractometry.
