Abstract As a promising ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor material, gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is attracting extensive attention of researchers due to its feasible growth process, appropriate bandgap of 4.4 eV-5.3 eV allowing for deep-ultraviolet (deep-UV) detection, good physical and chemical stability, high breakdown field strength and electron mobility, etc. Different from the strict processes for controllable crystalline Ga2O3 (usually refer to as stable monoclinic β-Ga2O3), amorphous Ga2O3 (a-Ga2O3) film can be prepared uniformly at low temperature on a large-area deposition substrate, suggesting great advantages such as low manufacturing cost and excellent flexibility, dispensing with high-temperature and high vacuum techniques. Thus, a-Ga2O3 extremely facilitates important applications in various applied fields. Therefore, in this concise review, we summarize several major deposition methods for a-Ga2O3 films, of which the characteristics are discussed. Additionally, potential methods to optimize the film properties are proposed by right of the inspiration from some recent studies. Subsequently, the applications of a-Ga2O3 thin films, e.g., in photodetectors, resistive random access memories (RRAMs) and gas sensors, are represented with a fruitful discussion of their structures and operating mechanisms.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
