  • Patent number: 7727865
    Abstract: To provide a method of controlling a conductivity of a Ga2O3 system single crystal with which a conductive property of a ?-Ga2O3 system single crystal can be efficiently controlled. The light emitting element includes an n-type ?-Ga2O3 substrate, and an n-type ?-AlGaO3 cladding layer, an active layer, a p-type ?-AlGaO3 cladding layer and a p-type ?-Ga2O3 contact layer which are formed in order on the n-type ?-Ga2O3 substrate. A resistivity is controlled to fall within the range of 2.0×10?3 to 8×102 ?cm and a carrier concentration is controlled to fall within the range of 5.5×1015 to 2.0×1019/cm3 by changing a Si concentration within the range of 1×10?5 to 1 mol %.

  • Patent number: 7393411
    Abstract: A method for growing a ?-Ga2O3 single crystal hardly cracking and having a weakened twinning tendency and an improved crystallinity, a method for growing a thin-film single crystal with high quality, a GazO3 light-emitting device capable of emitting a light in the ultraviolet region, and its manufacturing method are disclosed. In an infrared-heating single crystal manufacturing system, a seed crystal and polycrystalline material are rotated in mutually opposite directions and heated, and a ?-Ga2O3 single crystal is grown in one direction selected from among the a-axis <100> direction, the b-axis <010> direction, and the c-axis <001> direction. A thin film of a ?-Ga2O3 single crystal is formed by PLD. A laser beam is applied to a target to excite atoms constituting the target Ga atoms are released from the target by thermal and photochemical actions. The free Ga atoms are bonded to radicals in the atmosphere in the chamber.
