Abstract

We report the energy band offsets at a Ga2O3(Gd2O3)-GaAs interface. The valence-band offset (ΔEv) is ∼ 2.6 eV, measured by soft x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Analysis of the current-voltage characteristics of a Pt-Ga2O3(Gd2O3)-GaAs MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) structure, which are dominated by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling, reveals a conduction-band offset (ΔEC) ∼ 1.4 eV at the Ga2O3(Gd2O3)-GaAs interface and an electron effective mass (m*) ∼ 0.29 me of the Ga2O3(Gd2O3) film.
