Abstract

Ultra-wide bandgap Ga2O3 has many intriguing properties which make them potentially suitable for optoelectronic applications. However, its functionalities are largely hindered by the lack of p-type Ga2O3 based materials. In this work, we synthesized amorphous p-type transparent (Ga2O3)1−x(Cu2S)x alloy thin films with x 0.2 to ∼5.5 eV below the vacuum level, making the formation of native shallow acceptors more energetically favorable and hence enhancing their p-type conductivity. Our results show that electrical and optical properties of these amorphous p-type transparent (Ga2O3)1−x(Cu2S)x alloy thin films are potentially important in bipolar devices applications, e.g., Ga2O3 based p-n heterojunction power devices and high efficiency solar cells.
