Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is the wide bandgap semiconductor and will be used in the electronic and photonic devices. In such applications, proper doping is required to prepare Ga2O3-based devices. An Sn atom is consider to be one of dopant candidates for β-Ga2O3. However, the atomic structure of the active Sn dopant site has not been clarified yet. In this study, we used X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), extended X-ray absorption fine structure, and photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) to investigate the atomic structure and chemical state of the Sn dopant in β-Ga2O3. We found that the Sn atom occupies the octahedral Ga substitution site and acts as an active dopant in β-Ga2O3.
