We have used electrochemical anodic oxidation to form,gate oxides on strain
ed n-channel Si:SiGe quantum wells. The oxides are characterized by current
-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements. Comparison of measured and c
alculated electron sheet densities in the quantum well. indicates that the
oxide growth does not cause degradation of the Si:SiGe material. This is co
nfirmed by low-temperature measurements of the electron mobility and sheet
density in the quantum well.
