contents In this article, we investigate the in-situ growth of Al$_2$O$_3$ on $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at a high temperature of 800°C. The Al$_2$O$_3$ is grown within the same reactor as the $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$, employing trimethylaluminum (TMAl) and O$_2$ as precursors without breaking the vacuum. We characterize the shallow and deep-level traps through stressed capacitance-voltage (C-V) and photo-assisted C-V methods. The high-temperature deposited dielectric demonstrates an impressive breakdown field of approximately 10 MV/cm. Furthermore, we evaluate the reliability and lifetime of the dielectrics using time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) measurements. By modifying the dielectric deposition process to include a high-temperature (800°C) thin interfacial layer and a low-temperature (600°C) bulk layer, we report a 10-year lifetime under a stress field of 3.5 MV/cm along a breakdown field of 7.8 MV/cm.
