Abstract Here, high power flexible Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) are demonstrated on a plastic substrate using single crystalline β‐Ga2O3nanomembranes (NMs). In order to realize flexible high power β‐Ga2O3SBDs, sub‐micron thick freestanding β‐Ga2O3NMs are created from a bulk β‐Ga2O3substrate and transfer‐printed onto the plastic substrate via a microtransfer printing method. It is revealed that the material property of β‐Ga2O3NMs such as crystal structure, electron affinity, and bandgap remains unchanged compared with its bulk properties. Flexible β‐Ga2O3SBDs exhibit the record high critical breakdown field strength (Ec) of 1.2 MV cm−1in the flat condition and 1.07 MV cm−1ofEcunder the bending condition. Overall, flexible β‐Ga2O3SBDs offer great promise for future flexible energy convergence systems and are expected to provide a much larger and more versatile platform to address a broader range of high‐performance flexible applications.more » « less

Hydroxylation of substituted phenols by flavin-dependent monooxygenases is the first step of their biotransformation in various microorganisms. The reaction is thought to proceed via electrophilic aromatic substitution, catalyzed by enzymatic deprotonation of substrate, in single-component hydroxylases that use flavin as a cofactor (group A). However, two-component hydroxylases (group D), which use reduced flavin as a co-substrate, are less amenable to spectroscopic investigation. Herein, we employed 19 F NMR in conjunction with fluorinated substrate analogs to directly measure p K a values and to monitor protein events in hydroxylase active sites. We found that the single-component monooxygenase 3-hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase (3HB6H) depresses the p K a of the bound substrate analog 4-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzoate (4F3HB) by 1.6 pH units, consistent with previously proposed mechanisms. 19 F NMR was applied anaerobically to the two-component monooxygenase 4-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-hydroxylase (HPAH), revealing depression of the p K a of 3-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenylacetate by 2.5 pH units upon binding to the C 2 component of HPAH. 19 F NMR also revealed a p K a of 8.7 ± 0.05 that we attributed to an active-site residue involved in deprotonating bound substrate, and assigned to His-120 based on studies of protein variants. Thus, in both types of hydroxylases, we confirmed that binding favors the phenolate form of substrate. The 9 and 14 kJ/mol magnitudes of the effects for 3HB6H and HPAH-C 2 , respectively, are consistent with p K a tuning by one or more H-bonding interactions. Our implementation of 19 F NMR in anaerobic samples is applicable to other two-component flavin-dependent hydroxylases and promises to expand our understanding of their catalytic mechanisms.more » « less

A new record‐high room‐temperature electron Hall mobility (μRT = 194 cm2 V−1 s−1atn ≈ 8 × 1015 cm−3) for β‐Ga2O3is demonstrated in the unintentionally doped thin film grown on (010) semi‐insulating substrate via metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). A peak electron mobility of ≈9500 cm2 V−1 s−1is achieved at 45 K. Further investigation on the transport properties indicates the existence of sheet charges near the epilayer/substrate interface. Si is identified as the primary contributor to the background carrier in both the epilayer and the interface, originating from both surface contamination and growth environment. The pregrowth hydrofluoric acid cleaning of the substrate leads to an obvious decrease in Si impurity both at the interface and in the epilayer. In addition, the effect of the MOCVD growth condition, particularly the chamber pressure, on the Si impurity incorporation is studied. A positive correlation between the background charge concentration and the MOCVD growth pressure is confirmed. It is noteworthy that in a β‐Ga2O3film with very low bulk charge concentration, even a reduced sheet charge density plays an important role in the charge transport properties.more » « less

The thermal stability of n/n + β -Ga 2 O 3 epitaxial layer/substrate structures with sputtered ITO on both sides to act as rectifying contacts on the lightly doped layer and Ohmic on the heavily doped substrate is reported. The resistivity of the ITO deposited separately on Si decreased from 1.83 × 10 −3 Ω.cm as-deposited to 3.6 × 10 −4 Ω.cm after 300 °C anneal, with only minor reductions at higher temperatures (2.8 × 10 −4 Ω.cm after 600 °C anneals). The Schottky barrier height also decreased with annealing, from 0.98 eV in the as-deposited samples to 0.85 eV after 500 °C annealing. The reverse breakdown voltage exhibited a negative temperature coefficient of −0.46 V.C −1 up to an annealing temperature of 400 °C and degraded faster at higher temperatures. Transmission Electron Microscopy showed significant reaction at the ITO and Ga 2 O 3 interface above 300 °C, with a very degraded contact stack after annealing at 500 °C.more » « less
