The manufacturing method of the silicon carbide homoepitaxial substrate includes: providing an N-type silicon carbide substrate, forming first grooves in the N-type silicon carbide substrate; forming a defect repair layer on inner walls of the first grooves and outside the first grooves, and forming second grooves in the defect repair layer corresponding to the first grooves; forming an unintentionally doped silicon carbide layer on the defect repair layer, where the second grooves are fully filled with the unintentionally doped silicon carbide layer.

The present invention generally relates to nanoscale wires and, in particular, to nanoscale wires with heterojunctions, such as tip-localized homo- or heterojunctions. In one aspect, the nanoscale wire may include a core, an inner shell surrounding the core, and an outer shell surrounding the inner shell. The outer shell may also contact the core, e.g., at an end portion of the nanoscale wire. In some cases, such nanoscale wires may be used as electrical devices. For example a p-n junction may be created where the inner shell is electrically insulating, and the core and the outer shell are p-doped and n-doped. Other aspects of the present invention generally relate to methods of making or using such nanoscale wires, devices, or kits including such nanoscale wires, or the like.

A method of growing a conductive Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based crystal film by MBE includes producing a Ga vapor and a Si-containing vapor and supplying the vapors as molecular beams onto a surface of a Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based crystal substrate so as to grow the Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based crystal film. The Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based crystal film includes a Si-containing Ga.sub.2O.sub.3-based single crystal film. The Si-containing vapor is produced by heating Si or a Si compound and Ga while allowing the Si or a Si compound to contact with the Ga.
