Popis: We report the post-growth thermal annealing and the subsequent phase transition of Ga2O3 grown on c-plane sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). We demonstrated the post-growth thermal annealing at temperatures higher than 900 °
C under N2 ambience, by either in situ or ex situ thermal annealing, can induce phase transition from nominally metastable &kappa
to thermodynamically stable &beta
phase. This was analyzed by structural characterizations such as high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The highly resistive as-grown Ga2O3 epitaxial layer becomes conductive after annealing at 1000 °
C. Furthermore, we demonstrate that in situ annealing can lead to a crack-free &beta
Ga2O3.
