Abstract

Disclosed is a method of fabricating a stoichiometric gallium oxide (Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3) thin film with dielectric properties on at least a portion of a semiconducting, insulating or metallic substrate. The method comprises electron-beam evaporation of single crystal, high purity Gd.sub.3 Ga.sub.5 O.sub.12 complex compound combining relatively ionic oxide, such as Gd.sub.2 O.sub.3, with the more covalent oxide Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 such as to deposit a uniform, homogeneous, dense Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 thin film with dielectric properties on a variety of said substrates, the semiconducting substrates including III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors.
