The surface topography of the sample of comparative example 1 is shown in fig. 9. Comparing comparative example 1 with example 1, it was found that the sample had a rough surface morphology and disordered orientation and poor growth quality due to the gallium oxide layer grown directly on the silicon dioxide layer.

Comparative example 2 is different from example 1 in that there is no silicon oxide layer as an energy confinement layer, so that the gallium oxide layer can be directly grown on the AlN layer without using a lateral growth method. The SAW device of the second comparative example was simulated to calculate the radio frequency admittance curve as shown in fig. 11, and the admittance peak at the resonance frequency was about 30mS, which is lower than that of fig. 4, and the performance was deteriorated.
