We report on gallium (Ga) doped cubic MgZnO films, which have been grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. It was demonstrated that Ga doping improves the n-type conduction of the cubic MgZnO films. A two-orders of magnitude enhancement in lateral n-type conduction have been achieved for the cubic MgZnO films. The responsivity of the cubic MgZnO-based photodetector has been also enhanced. Depletion region electric field intensity enhanced model was adopted to explain the improvement of quantum efficiency in Ga doped MgZnO-based detectors.
