Depth profiles of Ga2O3/a-SiO2/Al2O3- substrate, Ga2O3/a-Si3N4/Al2O3- substrate, and Ga2O3/Al2O3 substrate thin layers were determined by the SNMS/HFM method. Al diffusion from the Al2O3 substrate was investigated after 50, and in some cases after 600 hours of heat treatment time at different temperatures (600 °C,850 °C,950 °C,1050 °C and 1150 °C). The diffusion coefficient of Al at 850 °C was found to be DAl=8.7 * 10–18 cm2/s in amorphous SiO2; DAl=1.5*10–17 cm2/s in amorphous Si3N4 and DAl=5.5* 10–16 cm2/s in Ga2O3 at 600 °C, respectively. The possible diffusion mechanism is explained in terms of the metal-oxygen bond-strengths. Although the studied materials have high resistivity at room temperature, the applied SNMS/HFM method has proven to be an efficient surface analytical tool even in these cases.Dedicated to Professor Dr. rer. nat.
