Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of forming a gallium oxide film is provided, and the method may include supplying mist of a material solution comprising gallium atoms and chlorine atoms to a surface of a substrate while heating the substrate so as to form the gallium oxide film on the surface of the substrate, in which a molar concentration of chlorine in the material solution is equal to or more than 3.0 times and equal to or less than 4.5 times a molar concentration of gallium in the material solution.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a gallium oxide film, the method comprising dissolving gallium oxyhydroxide in hydrochloric acid to create a material solution comprising gallium atoms and chlorine atoms, supplying a mist of the material solution to a surface of a substrate while heating the substrate so as to form the gallium oxide film on the surface of the substrate, wherein a molar concentration of chlorine in the material solution is 3.0 times to 4.5 times a molar concentration of gallium in the material solution. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the molar concentration of chlorine in the material solution is equal to or less than 3.5 times the molar concentration of gallium in the material solution. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is constituted of β-gallium oxide. 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising dissolving gallium chloride in water so as to create the material solution. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the creation of the material solution comprises mixing hydrochloric acid with the water. 6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising dissolving gallium in hydrochloric acid so as to create the material solution. 7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising dissolving gallium hydroxide in hydrochloric acid so as to create the material solution.
