Abstract

The invention relates to integrated circuit fabrication, and more particularly to a semiconductor device with an interfacial layer. An exemplary structure for a semiconductor device comprises a Si1-xGex substrate, wherein the x is greater than 0.4; a Si layer over the Si1-xGex substrate; and a gate structure disposed over the Si layer, wherein the gate structure comprises a dielectric portion and an electrode portion that is disposed over the dielectric portion; wherein the dielectric portion comprises a layer of III-V material on the Si layer and a high-k dielectric layer adjacent to the electrode portion.
