Ultrathin oxides using N2O on strained Si1−xGex layers

Abstract
Microwave N2O plasma oxidation of strained Si1−xGex layers at low temperature (<200 °C) is reported. The hole confinement in accumulation in a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS)‐gated SiGe/Si heterostructure has been confirmed by both simulation and experiments. Electrical properties are also discussed.
