Abstract
Photoluminescence (PL) mapping was utilized to investigate damage in β-Ga2O3 epilayers induced by 1064 nm laser pulses. The intensity and position of the intrinsic UV band were determined and plotted as a false-color image. Two types of damage were identified: circular damage and damage cracks. Circular damage shows lower UV PL intensity than the surrounding material with color centers in a “halo” around the damaged region. Damage cracks are aligned with the a and c axes and show higher PL intensity than undamaged material. Defects in the as-grown material were revealed by shifts in the UV band energy.
