Abstract

The depth profile of high-resolution photoelectron spectra at Ga 2O3(Gd2O3)-GaN and Gd 2O3-GaN interfaces grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been obtained by using synchrotron radiation beam and low-energy Ar + sputtering. The data indicate that both of the oxide layers are highly hygroscopic with the observation of O-H bonding. The valence-band offsets (ΔEV) of ∼1.1 and 1.0 eV were also measured for the Ga 2O3(Gd2O3)-GaN and Gd 2O3-GaN interfaces, respectively.
