This work focuses on the in operando synthesis of crystalline Ga2O3 via thermal oxidation of high-quality GaSe thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Devices based on these ultrathin oxides show >20 MV cm-1 breakdown fields and solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity, supporting applications in nanoelectronics and deep-UV sensing.
