  • Patent number: 10358742
    Abstract: A method of growing a conductive Ga2O3-based crystal film by MBE includes producing a Ga vapor and a Si-containing vapor and supplying the vapors as molecular beams onto a surface of a Ga2O3-based crystal substrate so as to grow the Ga2O3-based crystal film. The Ga2O3-based crystal film includes a Si-containing Ga2O3-based single crystal film. The Si-containing vapor is produced by heating Si or a Si compound and Ga while allowing the Si or a Si compound to contact with the Ga.
