The nanoporous (NP) GaN wafers which were fabricated by electrochemical etching (EC) method were used as substrates to deposit Er-doped Ga2O3epitaxial films by pulsed layer deposition (PLD). The epitaxial relationship between the GaN and Er doped β-Ga2O3film was Ga2O3(−201) ‖ GaN (0001) with Ga2O3[010] ‖ GaN [-12-10]. Compared to the Er doped films on the epi-GaN wafers with the porosity of 0%, ~20% and ~60%, the β-Ga2O3film deposited on the wafer with a porosity of ~40%, which has an energy bandgap of ~4.89 eV, has the best crystal quality and optoelectronic properties. The performance enhancement should be due to improved crystalline quality as a result of the existence of nanopores in the etched substrates. The excellent properties of Er doped Ga2O3films indicated that the films have great potential to fabricate Ga2O3optoelectronic devices.
