ABSTRACT:
An oxide layer (16') is formed on a GaAs body (14) by epitaxially growing a layer (12) of Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x As layer on a major surface (18) of the body and then thermally oxidizing the Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x As layer for a time period effective to convert it to an oxide. The oxidizing process is essentially self-terminating at the major surface 18. The application of this process to the fabrication of MOS capacitors and IGFETs is described.
