Abstract

An insulated gate structure includes a wide bandgap material layer having a channel region of a first conductivity type. A gate insulating layer is arranged directly on the channel region and has a first nitride layer that is arranged directly on the channel region. The gate insulating layer has a concentration of carbon atoms that is less than 1018 atoms/cm−3 at a distance of 3 nm from an interface between the wide bandgap material layer and the first nitride layer. An electrically conductive gate electrode layer overlies the gate insulating layer so that the gate electrode layer is separated from the wide bandgap material layer by the gate insulating layer.
