    In this work, we comprehensively investigate the development of unwanted parasitic particles in the MOVPE chamber while growing μm level films. The density of the parasitic particles is found to be pronounced at film thicknesses starting from >1.5 to 2 μm. These particles seem to induce structural defects such as twin lamellae, thereby harming the electrical properties of the grown film. The origin of the parasitic particle is attributed to the parasitic reactions within the chamber triggered by the promoted gas-phase reactions during the growth process, which can be largely reduced by increasing the total gas flow and decreasing the showerhead distance to the susceptor. A film thickness of up to 4 μm has been achieved after minimizing the density of parasitic particles. Thereby, RT Hall measurements reveal carrier mobilities of 160 cm2V−1s−1 at carrier concentrations of 5.7 × 1016cm−3

    Suppression of particle formation by gas-phase pre-reactions in (100) MOVPE-grown β -Ga2O3films for vertical device application
    (Melville, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2023) Chou, Ta-Shun; Seyidov, Palvan; Bin Anooz, Saud; Grüneberg, Raimund; Pietsch, Mike; Rehm, Jana; Tran, Thi Thuy Vi; Tetzner, Kornelius; Galazka, Zbigniew; Albrecht, Martin; Irmscher, Klaus; Fiedler, Andreas; Popp, Andreas
    This work investigated the metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of (100) β-Ga2O3 films with the aim of meeting the requirements to act as drift layers for high-power electronic devices. A height-adjustable showerhead achieving a close distance to the susceptor (1.5 cm) was demonstrated to be a critical factor in increasing the stability of the Ga wetting layer (or Ga adlayer) on the surface and reducing parasitic particles. A film thickness of up to 3 μm has been achieved while keeping the root mean square below 0.7 nm. Record carrier mobilities of 155 cm2 V-1 s-1 (2.2 μm) and 163 cm2 V-1 s-1 (3 μm) at room temperature were measured for (100) β-Ga2O3 films with carrier concentrations of 5.7 × 1016 and 7.1 × 1016 cm-3, respectively. Analysis of temperature-dependent Hall mobility and carrier concentration data revealed a low background compensating acceptor concentration of 4 × 1015 cm-3.
