Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to an apparatus, system, and method for creating a high-k gate stack structure that includes a passivation layer. The passivation layer can be constructed from a deposition of silicon carbide. The silicon carbide provides robustness against oxidation, which can reduce the capacity of the stack. The silicon carbide is thermodynamically stable during the deposition process and results in a clean interface.
