Gallium Oxide

Gallium oxide, written Ga₂O₃, is a semiconductor that has drawn growing interest for its physical characteristics. Its bandgap exceeds 4.5 eV, which places it among the ultra-wide-bandgap semiconductors, and it can be grown as large, high-quality substrates from bulk single crystals formed by melting. Together these traits make it a promising subject for researchers across the global semiconductor field. The volume is organized as a set of chapters written by specialists. They address the material's basic physical properties, the methods used to synthesize it, and its applications. Topics include the growth of melt-grown bulk crystals, the growth of epitaxial thin films, and a wide range of device types built from the material. The book is aimed at academic researchers and industry professionals, whether they already work on gallium oxide or are considering starting a new research and development project in the area.
