Progress in α-Ga2O3 for practical device applications

Recent progress in α-phase gallium oxide (α-Ga2O3) grown on sapphire for low-cost and practical device applications is reviewed. This review focuses on (i) dislocations formed by heteroepitaxy, (ii) p-type conductivity (a common issue with β-Ga2O3), and (iii) thermal instability due to the metastabl...
