Abstract
Ga2O3 nanorod arrays were prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering through an anodic aluminum oxide template with pore size of 360 nm at room temperature. The surface morphology as well as elemental composition and chemical states were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron measurements. With increasing sputtering time, the nanorod height increases but some irregular structures like voids and defects can be found in the prepared nanorod arrays. The UV–Vis spectra show that the average UV transmittance of the nanorod arrays was beyond 65 %. Hence, the AAO template-assisted thin film deposition presented in this research can be considered as a potential method for further fabrication of UV light detectors and gas sensors.
