Ga2O3(Gd2O3), electron beam evaporated from a single crystal Ga5Gd3O12 garn
et, was en: situ deposited on molecular beam epitaxy grown GaN of Ga-polar
surface. Using capacitance-voltage measurement, accumulation and depletion
behavior was observed in the Ga2O3(Gd2O3)/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor dio
des, with an interfacial density of states less than 10(11) cm(-2) eV(-1) T
he Ga2O3(Gd2O3)/GaN interface remains intact with the samples subject to ra
pid-thermal annealing up to 950 degrees C, as studied from x-ray reflectivi
ty measurements. (C) 2000 American Vacuum Society. [S0734-211X(00)01203-8].
