Abstract:
The results of investigation of the electrical resistivity of thin films Ga2O3:Si under the influence of oxygen in the range of O2 from 9 to 100 vol. % and changes in the heating temperature of structures from 25 to 700 °C were presented. Thin films of Ga2O3 were obtained by RF magnetron sputtering. The possibility of developing of oxygen sensors based on thin films Ga2O3:Si with a temperature of maximum response 400 °C was shown. Oxygen influence leads to a reversible increase in the samples’ resistance due to the interaction between adsorbed oxygen particles and superstoichiometric Ga3+ atoms in the semiconductor’s near-surface part. The mechanism of Si influence on gas-sensitive properties of Ga2O3 was offered.
