Optimizing the morphology transition on MOVPE-grown (100) β-Ga2O3 film between step-flow growth and step-bunching: A machine learning-assisted approach by Ta-Shun Chou, Saud Bin Anooz, Natasha Dropka, Han-Hsu Chen, Zbigniew Galazka, Martin Albrecht, Andreas Fiedler, Andreas Popp

“…This study reveals the interplay of Ga supersaturation (O2/Ga) and impurity effects as coexisting mechanisms driving the morphological transition (from step-flow growth to step-bunching). The developed machine-learning framework accurately classifies growth morphology and offers valuable insights by correlating theoretical principles with experimental parameters. …”
