Homoepitaxial film and semi-insulating bulk β-Ga2O3 with (001) orientation were studied using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the frequency region from 0.2 to 3.0 THz parallel to the [100] and [010] directions. The static permittivity of the bulk was determined to be 10.0 and 10.4 along the a-axis and b-axis, respectively, and the refractive index values at 0.2 THz are 3.17 and 3.23 for each axis. The electrical resistivity of the epilayer was extracted with good accuracy by employing the Drude-Lorentz model and without the use of electrical contacts. This noninvasive and contact-free material evaluation through THz-TDS proves to be a powerful tool for probing and obtaining various types of information about β-Ga2O3 materials such as bulk and thin films for the development of β-Ga2O3-based device applications.
