The effect of sputtering power on the amorphous Ga₂O₃ thin film deposited using the radio frequency sputtering system was evaluated. Amorphous Ga₂O₃ is cheaper and more efficiently fabricated than crystalline Ga₂O₃, and is studied in various fields such as RRAM, photodetector, and flexible devices. In this study, amorphous Ga₂O₃ was deposited by radio frequency sputtering system and represented a transmittance of over 80% in the visible light region and a homogeneous and dense surface. The optical band gap energy decreased as the sputtering power increased owing to the quantum size effect. Thus, the specific band gap of amorphous Ga₂O₃ can be obtained by adjusting the sputtering power, it indicates amorphous Ga₂O₃ can be used in various fields.

Ga$_2$O$_3$ nanomaterials were synthesized from mechanically ground GaN powders with thermal annealing Ga$_2$O$_3$ nanobelts were farmed in a nitrogen atmosphere, while Ga$_2$O$_3$ nanoparticles were formed inan oxygen atmosphere. The structural properties of the Ga$_2$O$_3$ nanomaterials were investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and high-resolution transmission eleotron microscope (HRTEM). The study of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) on the microstructures of nanomaterials revealed that the nanobelts are with the range of about 10∼200nm width and 10∼50nm thickness, and that nanoparticles are with the range of about 20∼50nm radius. On the basis of XRD and HRTEM data, we determined that the nanobelts grow toward a direction perpendicular to the (010) lattice plane and that they are enclosed by facets of the (10T) and (101) lattice planes. The formation of the nanobelts may be described by the vapor-solid(VS) mechanism, and the supersaturation device of gaseous phase may play an important role in the formation of Ga$_2$O$_3$ nanomaterials.

ε-Ga₂O₃ thin films were grown on 4H-SiC substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and crystalline quality were evaluated depend on growth conditions. It was found that the best conditions of the ε-Ga₂O₃ were grown at a growth temperature of 665℃ and an oxygen flow rate of 200 sccm. Two-dimensional growth was completed after the merge of hexagonal nuclei, and the arrangement direction of hexagonal nuclei was closely related to the crystal direction of the substrate. However, it was confirmed that crystal structure of the ε-Ga₂O₃ had an orthorhombic rather than hexagonal. Crystal phase transformation was performed by thermal treatment. And a β-Ga₂O₃ thin film was grown directly on 4H-SiC for the comparison to the phase transformed β-Ga₂O₃ thin film. The phase transformed β-Ga₂O₃ film showed better crystal quality than directly grown one.

We investigated that each site was substituted by new chemical components in Langasite ($La_3Ga_5/SiO_{14}$)-type structure with superior piezoelectric characteristics than $La_3Ga_5/SiO_{14}$. In this study $Ca_3TaGa_5Si_{2}O_{14}$ was synthesized by soilid-state reaction and grown by the $\mu$-PD(micro-pilling-down)and Cz technique. Lattice parameter and chemical composition was investigated by XRD and EPMA respectively.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) has been empolyed to investigate the structure of PbO-Bi2O3-Ga2O3 glasses. XPS OIS spectra recorded from binary PbO-Ga2O3 glasses clearly showed the presence of two peacks due to bridging and non-bridging oxygens, respectively. Gaussin best-fit deconvolution of the OIS peaks suggested there are substaintial amount of non-bridging oxygens in the structure. Therefore, in addition to the glassforming and charge compensating roles of PbO as suggested from the previous works, role of PbO as network modifiers needs to be considered. Addition of Bi2O3 to binary glasses resulted in the rapid decrease in the amount of non-bridging oxygens as well as in values of FWHM (Full Width at the Half Maximum intensity). It is believed that Bi2O3 form distorted BiO6 octahedra and therefore, work as intermediates. Infrared spectra also suggested that Ga2O3 behave as network-formers in the form of GaO4- tetrahedra.

β-Gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃), an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor, has attracted great attention due to its promising applications for high voltage power devices. The most stable phase among five different polytypes, β-Ga₂O₃ has the wider bandgap of 4.9 eV and higher breakdown electric field of 8 MV/cm. Furthermore, it can be grown from melt source, implying higher growth rate and lower fabrication cost than other wide bandgap semiconductors such as SiC, GaN and diamond for the power device applications. In this study, β-Ga₂O₃ bulk crystals were grown by the edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) process. The growth direction and the principal surface were set to be the [010] direction and the (100) plane of the β-Ga₂O₃ crystal, respectively. The spectra measured by Raman an alysis could exhibit the crystal phase an d impurity dopin g in the β-Ga₂O₃ ingot, and the crystallinity quality and crystal direction were analyzed using high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD). The crystal quality and various properties of as-grown β-Ga₂O₃ ribbon was systematically analyzed in order to investigate the spatial variation in entire crystal grown by EFG method.

ZnO, SnO2, In2O3:Sn와 같은 투명하고 전도성이 있는 박막은 panel display, 전자발광소자, 박막트랜지스터, 태양전지 등의 전극물질로서 폭넓게 사용되고 있다. 이러한 전극 물질을 이용하는 광전자소자의 성능을 개선하기 위해서는 가시광선영역에서 광투과율이 높고, 전기전도도가 좋아야 한다. 최근 ZnO, SnO2, In2O3, MgO, Ga2O3 등으로 이루어진 3원 또는 다원화합물로 제조된 산화물 박막이 새로운 투명한 전도성 박막으로 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ga2O3 박막을 radio-frequency magnetron sputtering 방법을 이용하여 증착하였다. 기존에 사용되던 ceramic target을 개선하여 powder target을 사용하였다. 반응가스는 순수하게 Ar 가스만 사용하였고, Sapphire(0001) 기판을 사용하였다. 초기에는 flat한 layered 구조로 증착이 이루어졌으나, 증착시간이 20분이 지나면서부터는 밤송이 모양을 가지는 나노구조체가 생성되기 시작하였고, 이후 나노 밤송이의 밀도가 점차 증가하였다. Ga2O3 나노 밤송이의 특성에 대하여 발표할 예정이다.

$Ga_2O_3$ one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures were synthesized by using a thermal evaporation technique. The morphology, crystal structure, and sensing properties of the $Ga_2O_3$ nanostructures functionalized with Pt to $NO_2$ gas at room temperature under UV irradiation were examined. The diameters of the 1D nanostructures ranged from a few tens to a few hundreds of nanometers and the lengths ranged up to a few hundreds of micrometers. Pt nanoparticles with diameters of a few tens of nanometers were distributed around a $Ga_2O_3$ nanorod. The responses of the nanorods gas sensors fabricated from multiple networked $Ga_2O_3$ nanorods were improved 3-4 fold at $NO_2$ concentrations ranging from 1 to 5 ppm by Pt functionalization. The Pt-functionalized $Ga_2O_3$ nanorod gas sensors showed a remarkably enhanced response at room temperature under ultraviolet (UV) light illumination. In addition, the mechanisms via which the gas sensing properties of $Ga_2O_3$ nanorods are enhanced by Pt functionalization and UV irradiation are discussed.

Mn-doped $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin film phosphors have been grown using a pulsed laser deposition technique under various growth conditions. The structural characterization carr~ed out on a series of $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) films grown on MgO(l00) substrates usmg Zn-rich ceramic targets. Oxygen pressure was varied from 50 to 200 mTorr and Zn/Ga ratio was the function of oxygen pressure. XRD patterns showed that the lattice constants of the $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin film decrease with the substitution of sulfur and selenium for the oxygen in the $ZnGa_2O_4$. Measurements of photoluminescence (PL) properties of $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin films have indicated that MgO(100) is one of the most promised substrates for the growth of high quality $ZnGa_2O_{4-x}M_{x}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin films. In particular, the incorporation of Sulfur or Selenium into $ZnGa_2O_4$ lattice could induce a remarkable increase in the intensity of PL. The increasing of green emission intensity was observed with $ZnGa_2O_{3.925}Se_{0.075}:$Mn^{2+}$ and $ZnGa_2O_{3.925}S_{0.05}$:$Mn^{2+}$ films, whose brightness was increased by a factor of 3.1 and 1.4 in comparison with that of $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ films, respectively. These phosphors may promise for application to the flat panel displays.
