Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project, we focus on nickel oxide (NiO) as a p-type oxide semiconductor that is indispensable for next-generation power device applications, and performed thin film growth via the mist CVD method that enables high-quality film growth. As a result, high quality NiO thin films were grown on α-Al2O3 and MgO substrates. In addition, we tried p-type Li doping and realized carrier concentration control over a wide range.
Next, with a view to device application, NiO:Li (100) was grown on a β-Ga2O3 (100) substrate, and the growth conditions of single crystal NiO:Li without twin formation were found. Heterojunction diode with high rectification ratio and dielectric breakdown voltage was prototyped.
