Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) films were deposited on MgO (100) substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. Structure analyses showed that the films deposited at 550–700°C were epitaxial β-Ga2O3 films with an out of plane relationship of β-Ga2O3(100)||MgO(100). The film deposited at 650°C showed the bes...
