Band Alignment of Al2O3 on α-(AlxGa1-x)2O3

Abstract

X Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy was used to measure valence band offsets for Al2O3 deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition on α-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 alloys over a wide range of Al contents, x, from 0.26–0.74, corresponding to a bandgap range from 5.8–7 eV. These alloys were grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition. The band alignments were type I (nested) at x α-(AlxGa1-x)2O3 alloys makes it difficult to find dielectrics with nested band alignments over the entire composition range.
