We investigated atomic site occupancy for the Si dopant in Si-doped κ-Ga2O3(001) using photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and photoelectron holography (PEH). From PES and PEH, we found that the Si dopant had one chemical state, and three types of inequivalent Si substitutional sites (SiGa) were formed. The ratios for the inequivalent tetrahedral, pentahedral, and octahedral SiGa sites were estimated to be 55.0%, 28.1%, and 16.9%, respectively. Higher (lower) ratios for the three inequivalent SiGa sites may come from a lower (higher) formation energy. The Tetra (Octa) SiGa site has the highest (lowest) ratio of the three SiGa sites since it has the lowest (highest) formation energy. We suggest that the tetrahedral SiGa site is due to the active dopant site, whereas the pentahedral and octahedral SiGa sites can be attributed to the inactive dopant sites for Si-doped κ-Ga2O3(001).

Abstract

We investigated atomic site occupancy for the Si dopant in Si-doped κ-Ga2O3(001) using photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and photoelectron holography (PEH). From PES and PEH, we found that the Si dopant had one chemical state, and three types of inequivalent Si substitutional sites (SiGa) were formed. The ratios for the inequivalent tetrahedral, pentahedral, and octahedral SiGa sites were estimated to be 55.0%, 28.1%, and 16.9%, respectively. Higher (lower) ratios for the three inequivalent SiGa sites may come from a lower (higher) formation energy. The Tetra (Octa) SiGa site has the highest (lowest) ratio of the three SiGa sites since it has the lowest (highest) formation energy. We suggest that the tetrahedral SiGa site is due to the active dopant site, whereas the pentahedral and octahedral SiGa sites can be attributed to the inactive dopant sites for Si-doped κ-Ga2O3(001).
