Corundum-like α-Ga2O3 is a metastable phase of the polymorphic ultra-wide band gap semiconductor Ga2O3. While previous resarch has mostly focused on the stable β-phase the α-phase is less discussed, but interesing as well as it allows bandgap-engineering by alloying e.g. with α-Al2O3 (sapphire) or In2O3.
Since the transition metal oxide Ti2O3 as well, has a corundum-like phase (α-phase), with a small latice mismatch of about 3.5% to α-Ga2O3, we investigate here (0001) α-Ga2O3 thin films alloyed with Ti, grown by ALD (atomic layer deposition).
We use spectroscopic ellipsometry in ultraviolet range to obtain the complex dielectric function (DF) of α-(TixGa1−x)2O3 up to x=0.61. We find a clear red shift of the absorption onset with increasing Ti content, as well as an increase of the amplitude of the DF.
