Rutile-type GeO2 (r-GeO2) is attracting attention as a wide-band-gap oxide semiconductor with potential for both p-type and n-type conduction. Although the number of reports on epitaxial growth of r-GeO2 films has been increasing, the formation of competing polymorphs such as α-quartz and amorphous phases makes it difficult to grow high-quality epitaxial films. In this study, we systematically investigate effects of deposition conditions on growth of GeO2 films by pulsed laser deposition. By optimizing the conditions, we successfully suppressed the formation of amorphous phase and achieved single-phase r-GeO2 epitaxial films.
