Method for epitaxially growing nickel oxide single crystal film based on plasma-assisted laser molecular beam
Technical Field

However, Ga2O3Many challenges still remain in research, and the lack of p-type doping capability remains based on Ga2O3Is limited by the power electronics of (a). Search for other p-type wide bandgap semiconductor materials and use of the materials in combination with Ga2O3Forming high quality heterogeneous integration is one possible solution.
NiO is a natural p-type oxide semiconductor and has attracted much attention due to its band gap of 3.2-3.8 eV, excellent chemical stability, and high visible light transmittance.

Common nickel oxide epitaxy methods include magnetron sputtering, laser molecular beam epitaxy, and the like. The nickel oxide obtained by magnetron sputtering is usually polycrystalline and amorphous, the surface roughness of the film obtained by the particle bombardment deposition mode is large, various defects exist in the crystal, the transportation of current carriers is hindered by the existence of a polycrystalline boundary, and the improvement of the device performance is still greatly limited.
At present, high-temperature epitaxy is often required to obtain a high-quality oxide heteroepitaxial film, and the epitaxy cost is high and the process is complex. In addition, the commonly used growth means such as magnetron sputtering is usually particle bombardment deposition rather than epitaxial growth, and usually polycrystalline and amorphous nickel oxide is obtained, which has large surface roughness and poor crystal quality, so that the improvement of the device performance still has a bottleneck.
